I recently noticed that Konqueror isn't decoding some JPEGs properly. Some parts are blocky where they are supposed to be smooth. I am currently using KDE 3.1.2. I have tested 3.1.1 and 3.1.2. Both exhibit the bug. One picture I have found that demonstrates this problem can be found at http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12952 as the second picture in the thread. Mozilla renders the image correctly. I will attach a comparison.
Created attachment 12539 [details] Comparison of JPEG decoding between Konqueror and Mozilla On the left is Mozilla 1.3, on the right, Konqueror 3.1.2. Notice how the top part of Mario's hat looks blocky in Konq, but not in Mozilla. GIMP and KView both render the image correctly, the same as Mozilla.
This is a bug with kde, I think you should report it there.
I thought I was supposed to report all bugs here, and they were sent upstream as necessary. Has this policy changed?
We ask that you report it here first in case it's a problem on our end. For small things we can report them upstream ourselves, but since this is a pretty big issue we're asking that you report it directly to the KDE folks yourself. Thanks!
Sure, no problem. http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60000
Fixed upstream.
