Description

It's not that unusual to have only one image in a gallery. Either you transformed an image block into a gallery or you created a new gallery with only one image.

The problem is: how do you add a second image?

The only reasonably intuitive way is to drag and drop an image from your computer and upload it. However, if you want to insert an image from the media library, the is no intuitive way to do it.

(The workaround of opening the List view, finding and expanding the Gallery, clicking on the three dots of the image block, duplicating it, then clicking on Replace in the toolbar and finally you can open the media library is not acceptable. I can’t ask any client to follow through all of these steps only to add an image to a gallery.)

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

1. Create a gallery with only one image
2. Try to add a image from the media library.
