This is RIBBON INSERT FUNCTION for a photo.
SWITCH TO HTML MODE
That's hopeless. Don't try. One post said "download pictures in HTML mode" and they will "click to enlarge".
DRAG DROP MODE
Blogger doesn't support drag drop mode.
RESULTS
When I use the RIBBON INSERT PHOTO function it will click to enlarge.
When I use the new easy Cut Paste (Ctl-V) function, the photo will not enlarge, though you can still right click and display it large in a new tab.
A QUIRK
When you Cut Paste a photo, and later return to COMPOSE mode to edit, the cut-pasted photo will only appear as a gray square. But a photo added via the ribbon photo function will appear as a photo.
Whichever way you originally uploaded a photo, in COMPOSE, when you click on it, you get the same edit menu. (Left, right center, and then plus minus for size, and then a Pencil for more features.
