Saving image previews results in downscaled resolution and lower quality

I'm doing some work as an archiver for a streaming artist and this irks me to no end --- as you know, there are three different images you can see when an image is posted. You have the in-line preview you typically see in discord, you have the enlarged preview when you click on the image, then you have the "Open Original" image.

Saving the image via dragging to desktop result in three different results:

1. The smallest resolution image from the preview
2. The mid-resolution image from the enlarged preview
3. The original resolution image from the, well, original image

To illustrate,

In descending order, you have the smallest preview, the mid-sized enlarged preview, and the original image. Both previews were dragged to desktop and the original was opened using the "open original" link.

In order to preserve the original resolution of the image you must open the link to it which is inconvenient and, as I see, unnecessary. I do not believe everyone is aware how much resolution they're losing to the original image when dragging from preview. Already small images are not downscaled, yet as the image grows larger in resolution there is a notable loss in quality.

  I'm having the same issue. Everything was good until a few days ago and now it's really bad. i did my own comment as the help service suggested me, without any solution for problem, that is, for virtual photography content very annoying.
