makes no sense to me, but I can read HTML.
src is for where an image file comes from
style is for how the image is presented

I think I understand because I had a similar problem about a month ago.
I saved an obituary from an online news source, the complete web page,
but I also saved the portrait photo separately 'just in case.' The saved
image was much larger than it was on the page. Not a problem, I thought,
it was doubtless constrained.
It's a good thing I did that because the image didn't save with the page
but only a place holder was evident, and it was not streamed from the
server. When I tried inserting the saved image into that place holder
via Insert>image the resulting image was the proper width but twice the
correct length and looked really stupid!
Image properties gave the correct image size but it clearly was not
correct. I tried reinserting and constraining the save image but got
the same result, portrait photo was twice as long as it should have been.
I fought with the composer for probably an hour before I finally gave up
trying to insert the image into the saved page and started over with a
new composition wherein I constrained the image, inserted it into the
proper position and it finally worked. Had it not been a family
member's obituary I wouldn't have gone through that arduous procedure.
In previous versions of SeaMonkey that little task would have been quite
straightforward and not such an ordeal. I thought it was just one of
those things that works fine but gets broken with later versions and
will probably never get fixed. I don't write as much as I once did or
I'd be way more annoyed about it.
