Please describe the bug
Probably we're not supposed to be doing this, but it worked with versions <=4.16.0
We are using the downscaleImageToDataURLUsingBrowser function from botframework-webchat-component/src/Utils/downscaleImageToDataURL to generate thumbnail images for file attachments that are dropped on our webchat component via screengrab tool => copied to clipboard => pasted.
It looks as though the 4.17.0 release went live yesterday night or this morning on npm, and our builds started breaking on the line where we are doing:
import downscaleImageToDataURLUsingBrowser from "botframework-webchat-component/src/Utils/downscaleImageToDataURL";
With this error:
Module not found : error : Package path ./src/Utils/downscaleImageToDataURL is not exported from package
{path-to-project}\node_modules\botframework-webchat-component (see exports field in
{path-to-project}\node_modules\botframework-webchat-component\package.json)
The only real difference I can see is that the index.js file changed to be index.ts
This was probably not supposed to ever work, but it did through the crapulence of JavaScript and now it doesn't.
Do you see any errors in console log?
No response
How to reproduce the issue?
import downscaleImageToDataURLUsingBrowser from "botframework-webchat-component/src/Utils/downscaleImageToDataURL";
What do you expect?
Not to spend my whole day tracking down an undocumented build error.
What actually happened?
I had to explicitly set the version of botframework-webchat : 4.16.0 in my package.json
Do you have any screenshots or recordings to repro the issue?

Research direction
Start with packages/component/src/Utils/downscaleImageToDataURL/index.ts and the botframework-webchat-component package.json exports field. Reproduce the documented deep import against version 4.17.0, then compare it with 4.16.0 to identify the package boundary change. Done means the intended use is either supported without the module-not-found error or clearly excluded from the package contract.
