Thanks for your feedback @manish. I think that was done on purpose to shorten the screenshot. I'll need to double check to make sure.

If it was supposed to ellipse-ize the screenshot, can we add some kind of jagged line in the middle to signify that? Just proposing ideas.

Sure, we could also note that in the introductory sentence. I'll get back to you once I've verified.

Yes, correct. It was done to shorten the height of the image. I may have used a straight line and not jagged because jagged doesn't match the style of the site. We have a few topics where images have that torn-paper edge look, and it seems very at-odds with the docs theme.

The purpose of the white line is not clear and looks pretty sloppy. I'm not sure how you should properly theme it, but this is not the answer.

We also use ellipsis quite a bit. It could have a "... continued ..." super-imposed on the image without the line.

Should just get rid of the image. It doesn't add anything by being a picture and just complicates things. Simply use a code block with * ... cut to save space ...* in the middle.
