111733 - Image icons not removed on image load

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Steven Walter]

In the case of images that are smaller or of dimensions where they do not cover
the entire "loading image" icon, that image is never removed.  Whatever part of
it that is not covered by the new icon remains there for the duration of the page.

When the image is large enough to completely obscure the "loading image" icon,
the new image overwrites the icon, and there is no problem.

This is seen on a self-built distribution with gcc-2.95.3; I've yet to test the
official binary.  If no one can confirm this, I will do so.

For a test, even slashdot.org will show the problem.

Actually, the misrendering disappears if the affected part of the page becomes
(or starts as) invisible.  i.e., parts of the page outside the current viewing
window do not show it, and if one scrolls down and back, the original portion no
longer does, either.  Even a redraw event caused by obscuring the window is
suffucient.

in fact they should trim or scale the image icon if the "box" of the image does
not fit the icon, rather than letting the icon float on top of the box like what
we have now.

I see this bug exactly as described in the 0.9.6 milestone build (2001112012)
and just came here to file a bug for this problem...

Based on the description provided, I can't reproduce it under Mac OS X
(2001-12-03-08) and  Linux Redhat 6.2 (2001-12-03-03).
