Build 2001092803 on Win2K (SP2) running at 1280x1024x32 bits (large fonts):
worksforme!

werks fer me too..  WinME, Resolution set at 1400x1050, and 32-bit color.  Build
200128.   Maybe this is just Linux specific?  (thinking image libraries or
something like that maybe?)

  Also, there are other bugs already reported that deal with improperly
displaying animated GIFs.  Please look around for a duplicate bug report, if
there is one.  (I will do a quick search myself)

On 2001110803 win2Kpro-sp2

Is an 18MB animated GIF and only cycles once while loading.  Interestingly, Moz
unly updates the fram while loading, Comm 4.x shows bands of data as it loads.

Both of the images display for me on win2k & Linux.
The difference between 4.x & mozilla is that 4.x
begins animation right away, mozilla waits to download
the entire image before animating.  The gif at
http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/data/LATEST/current_eit_304.gif
is ~39Meg and so takes me about 4-5min to download and once 
downloaded it animates fine.

I need to look through the other image bugs but should we
begin animating right away?  is there (should there be) a preference.

Confirmed using Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030529

http://www.banskabystrica.sk/opportunities/index.htm

and any link from the page.
Only few gif's are animated, other aren't. The status changes sometimes with
repeated visit of the page. The number of animated gif's increased -first time
only one was animated, second it was 3. Maybe one day all will be animated ;o)

www.banskabystrica.sk/opportunities
with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030612

I don't know, if it has any connection with the bug, but today I applied
localisation pack for my version of Mozilla (1.4rc2). But The bug didn't appear
suddenly, just after a few hours of using Mozilla. So I don't know, if it was
just an accident that the bug disappeared before..

Comment 15

[Peto]

Don't know, what mechanism does the bug force to appear, but this time
animations work fine again. Bug appears randomly.

Comment 16

I worked in Composer for some minutes and when I returned to Browser, animations
stopped except 1. Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624
