82164 - animated gifs "flash" when Flash plugin also on page.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 62891

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[andreww]

download attached zip file and unzip.
View the html file on macintosh 2001052115
the big "dice" roller is the embedded flash file (which also has problems - with 
clicking on the button - but that is another bug)
the little banner ad on the right will after a few seconds, start animating, and 
will "flash" with each frame in the animation.

If you view the image alone, it doesnt flash - just when the plugin is present.

if you have problems downloading this file, rename the "attachment.cgi" 
to "dice.zip" and then try to open it.

Andrew,

In order to get plugins to work on the Mac, double buffering had to be turned 
off for the entire web page which is probably what is causing your flicker. This 
is a dup of bug 62891. You can try adding this experimental 
pref to your all.js: pref("plugin.enable_double_buffer", true);

Peter, is this the same mouse event bug that we have open on mac(bug 75582) I 
see this problem...clicking the round button once in the flash movie does not 
always roll the dice. Pls let me know...
