 * Hi everyone.
    Still familiarizing with 5.01. Whenever I upload a picture from
   my computer directly to a post, first I see a blurred version of the picture 
   on my screen for a couple of seconds, then I have en error message that sound
   like “The response is not a valid JSON response” and the picture seems gone. 
   The picture though is uploaded and available on my Media Library, so that at 
   my second attempt I post the picture form there. It is not a big deal, I get 
   my job done anyway, but I ask myself what I am doing wrong ?

 * Hi [@stefanogger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stefanogger/), your experience
   sounds a lot like this bug which has been filed under the Gutenberg plugin:
    
   [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/12532](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/12532)
 * Do you happen to know whether your web server is IIS?

 * Hi Brandon [@bpayton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bpayton/), yes the 
   Gutemberg issue sounds quite the same but I have no Gutemberg plugin – as far
   as I know.
    Then I have been browsing with my provider to see if I could find
   any info about my server being IIS but no, I have no clue. Thank you for your
   help and effort ! At this time I will take the JSON error as part of my indolence,
   I can upload my lousy pictures after all.
 * Again, thanks a lot.
