902961 - Animated gifs don't start playing until they have finished loading

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 899861

(Core :: Graphics: ImageLib, defect)

Description

[Jeff Muizelaar [:jrmuizel]]

STR: load any large animated gif, notice the animation doesn't seem to start until the whole thing is there. This is especially obvious if you open the developer console and watch when the load is complete.

Dupe of bug 899861?

Certainly sounds like it.

Actually, it's either a dupe, or a "subset" of bug 899861, which also mentions that once the animation starts, it doesn't start at the beginning.

This seems to work in the latest nightly.  Anyone wants to claim credit?

Maybe not, I have a feeling the image got cached somewhere, so that the full download takes a lot less time, and it just becomes more difficult to tell.
