– In the Media Library its dimensions are displayed as the original ones on my PC (3235×300),
– When I insert it into my post, and view the html and click the edit button, the dimensions are still correct,
– But viewing the saved post in the website front-end, and right-clicking to view it in a new tab, it’s resized to 2182 × 201.
Is this some weird WordPress or Jetpack setting?
Thanks,

I don’t have any other plug-ins installed and running except for:
– Akismet anti-spam
– Yoast SEO
– Smart Slider
– Child Theme Configurator
Changing the themes brings no improvement.
What I’m noticing now is that if the page is loaded with a big viewport for desktop, the image is original size and sharp. But when I resize the browser down, smaller images seem to be served instead for tablet and then phone (768w and 300w). And because I have the wide panoramic image in the div (overflow:hidden) set to stay at full size in the CSS, no matter what–so it can be scrolled sideways by the viewer–the small substituted images are stretched bigger look terrible.
So: I think this automatic image-swapping is the issue. I wonder how I can disable it?
You can see the image here, under the ‘Scrollable Panorama‘ heading.

Ah that’s the catch.
I don’t know of a way to disable responsive images just for one instance, so I’m afraid you may have 2 options:
Rather than just using the same image for any device, re-sized by CSS: which is the usual way.
I don’t think I’m worried about the former. I think the slow speed of this current site is more about the system itself or my host. It drags.
]]>Firefox displays these alternative images,
Opera and Safari do not. No problems there at all.
The responsive images feature—presumably—is to reduce load on mobile devices by giving them smaller images to download?

I don’t understand. This is directly related to your problem.
