1006939 - JPEG image displays intermittently, possibly due to XMP errors

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: Graphics: ImageLib, defect)

Description

[Douglas Bagnall]

Attachment: A jpeg that you can't always see, with duplicate XMP tags.

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:28.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/28.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140317233501

Steps to reproduce:

The attached image is from http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=12221 where it
failed to display properly for many firefox users, including myself (see the comments for attestation). After I downloaded the image for inspection, it did display correctly in Firefox.

Geeqie (a GTK image viewer) refuses to display the image, with the complaint:

  Error: XMP Toolkit error 203: Duplicate property or field node
  Warning: Failed to decode XMP metadata.

Looking at the XMP data with `exiftool -xmp -b downloads/TallViolinist.jpg`, it appears that there are indeed three duplicate tags:

  <exif:ResolutionUnit>Inch</exif:ResolutionUnit>
  <exif:XResolution>72</exif:XResolution>
  <exif:YResolution>72</exif:YResolution>

These have the same values in each iteration.



Actual results:

Sometimes the image appears, sometimes it doesn't.



Expected results:

The image should appear.
