220927 - Image placeholder displayed inconsistently when images are blocked (network.image.imageBehavior=2)

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core :: Graphics: Image Blocking, defect)

Description

[test]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20030925

I have set network.image.imageBehavior = 2 to block all images. When the pages
are displayed, a box is displayed on the page at the expected location of the
image. The displaying of this box is inconsistent in that on different
executions of the browser, the box may or maynot get displayed.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:

2.
3.




Is there any preference that controls the display of the box around the image
location?

Yes.  There are preferences both to force the box to happen and to cause it
never to happen; the default is that it only happens in quirks mode with an
image that has a size set in the HTML.

Are you seeing inconsistent behavior on one particular page?  If so, what is the
URL?

This happens on any image. For example, the top banner in the
http://www.yaho.com page. 
PS: browser.display.show_image_placeholders = false

Here's a testcase URL:

If images are selected to be blocked from this server, there's no placeholder
graphic to indicate blocking's enabled.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not

How do you actually set this to not fixed? We are up to Firefox 22 and placeholder icon doesn't work at all in any case under any circumstances.

Works just fine for me in this simple testcase:

  data:text/html,<img>

If you have a case when it's not working and should, please file a bug with steps to reproduce and add me to the cc list.
