The bug is old - so what?

By reading the comments in bug 129986 you will know that it is a perfectly valid bug, occurring in current versions.  I am confident Cork knows what he/she was doing by setting the duplicate. But if you have a _testcase_ that demonstrates what you have is not the same issue as bug 129986, then please do post the information publicly.

Bugzilla.mozilla.org is about more than just reporting a problem - the goal is to get issues fixed. And a bug report without a testcase does not help achieve that goal.

Please provide the required testcase - a URL to such a gif or attach it to this bug report. Otherwise, you are again insisting on filing bug reports without appropriate supporting information.
