74802 - Esc should stop gifs animating

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 74169

(Core :: Graphics: ImageLib, defect)

Description

[Alex Bischoff]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; 0.8.1)
BuildID:    2001040404

Esc should stop animated gifs from animating.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the page
2. Notice the animated banner at the top. Hit Esc to stop the animation.
3. Notice that the animation continues.

Actual Results:  The gif continues animating.

Expected Results:  The gif should have stopped animating.

This used to work in older builds (as recently as a couple weeks ago), and it
worked in Netscape 4.x as well. Also, I just guessed on the component of
"ImageLib" -- perhaps it's something else.

This is a dupe of bug 74169.
(user pref "image.animation_mode" ignored).
From the 3. comment in that bug : 
"Even worse, you can't manually stop the animation which ESC."

Stopping animations by clicking the Stop-button is how it is done in NC4.*
This has nothing to do with user-prefs for how animations are cycled or not.

oops.. the broken stop-button is driving me nuts. I read stop instead of esc.
