65734 - Mozilla lacks indication of existence of unfetched image

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 62046

(Core :: Graphics: ImageLib, enhancement)

Description

[Igor Nekrestyanov]

When browsing with automatic image retrieval disabled in 4.x and earlier an
icon was used to indicate the existence and approximate location of unfetched
images in the page. NS6 does not consistently provide this indication; it seems
to do it sometimes but not always, possibly in relation to the presence of
multiple adjacent images.  See, for instance, <http://rory.eng/> or for an
extreme
case <http://www.sun.com/pics/sunlogo.gif>.  With image retrieval turned off
(Preferences -> Advanced -> Images, select 'Do not load any images') there's no
indication that either of those pages contain an IMG reference.

This is a significant problem because there's no longer any hint that the page
contains an image at all, and therefore nothing to cue the user that additional
information might be forthcoming if he were to retrieve the image

This is related to 47475.

Yup it would be good to have an icon or something in case there should be an
image and it could not be retrieved (like every other browser has).

This only happens when ALT text is not specified, or height and width are not,
and border=0.
Dupe of bug 62046 or 41924. 62046 I guess.

VERIFIED dup.
We're not getting the height or width of the image when blocking images.
