Communication site news web part doesn't show pictures to B2B users
We have a situation where we have a Communication site and use the out of the box News web part. This web part is working ok for normal users, but B2B users invited to the site don't see the pictures in the news items. The news items itself are displayed in the web part though. When a B2B user opens up a news item, the picture is displayed correctly. When we use the Highlighted web part to show news items, the pictures are shown as expected. So it looks like it is an issue within the News web part.
Anyone else noticed this before or has a solution for this?

Deleted the work around in the GitHub issue also worked for the B2B users. The news web part uses a preview service which is located in the _layouts folder. The web part points to the root site collection though instead of the current site collection. There for users need access to the root site collection in order to get the preview images in the news web part.
- Thanks for pointing to this issue. Looks like the same issue.
