Steps to reproduce the issue

In Module: Articles, on the Display Option page, the option Show Article Images (Show/Hide) is not visible when the option Introtext Limit (characters) is <>0. (The default = 100)

Expected result

Option: Show Article Images (Show/Hide) is always visible independent of the value of Introtext Limit (characters)

Actual result

Option: Show Article Images (Show/Hide) is ONLY visible Introtext Limit (characters) = 0

System information (as much as possible)

Joomla 5.3, 5.4(alpha), 6 (alpha)

Additional comments

Solution:

showon="title_only:0[AND]introtext_limit:0" --> showon="title_only:0"
in field: image

My understanding is that this is intentional as if the image doesnt exist in the first X characters it would not be displayed and this would be confusing. Its always best to use the readmore indicator in your content and not a character count

@brianteeman I had a GIF-image in the first characters, but I was wondering why it was not visible.
It turned out that Show Article Images has default: Hide and that option was not visible because introtext_limit <> 0.
It took me quiet a while before discovering that. That's why I suggest to make this change.
