New manifest, add canvas leads to loading spinner forever

[kayakr]

In Chrome 84 on MacOS if I start a new manifest and click Add Canvas I get a broken image icon on the Empty canvas with a spinning loading symbol.

Sidebar changes from "This sequence does not have any canvases." to "The selected canvas has been deleted."

Thanks for reporting this. I have tested it on Chrome 84 and I can reproduce it on the Bodleian instance (https://digital.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/manifest-editor) but neither on the text & bytes instance (https://iiif-manifest-editor.textandbytes.com/) nor locally. This indicates that the Bodleian instance might not be up to date or has some other problem.

In the meantime, please use this version: https://iiif-manifest-editor.textandbytes.com

It looks like the Bodleian instance is missing the “empty canvas” placeholder image asset.
