150611 - RFE: Display as much as possible of graphic with error

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 58880

(Core :: Graphics: ImageLib, enhancement)

Description

[Michael W. Burden]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.0rc3) Gecko/20020523
BuildID:    1.0 RC3

If a graphic on a webpage has an error, it would be nice if Mozilla displayed as
much of the graphic as possible instead of not displaying it at all.  I've run
into a lot of pages have graphics that Mozilla won't display because they have
an error, but appear completely intact when viewed with Opera or with Netscape 4.51.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Follow link


Actual Results:  Displays the message, "The image
“http://www.herdthinners.com/2002/0610.png” cannot be displayed, because it
contains errors."

Page looks fine when displayed with Opera or Netscape 4.51.


Expected Results:  Displayed as much of the image as possible, possibly with a
dialog box or alt text explaining that the image may not be complete because it
has an error.

As a "pre-emptive" note against this being marked as a duplicate:  I don't
consider this to be a duplicate of 41924 because Ian Hickson is asking for an
icon to represent the "broken" image (ala I.E.), whereas I am asking that
Mozilla display as much of the broken image as possible (ala Opera or Netscape
4.51).

Has there been any discussion about whether this or 41924 is the better way to
handle a broken image?  Is this likely to be in an upcoming release?  Is there
someplace I should be looking to determine the status of things like these? 
(Sorry about all the questions -- I'm fairly new to using Mozilla and Bugzilla)
