Well, at least he did provide the full window instead of clipping out only the footprints in the board view. Otherwise it wouldn’t have been as easy a fix to notice that he had pad visibility turned off. But, yeah. I agree that he probably should have resized the window smaller like you did.
There was a similar post recently (weeks)
Just the text that the pads are only shown when a footprint is selected would have been enough for me (in this particular case).
But I do appreciate the effort taken for trying to give all relevant information. Nitpicking on details and forgetting the overall view is a bit of a recurring issue for me.
