Bug 21901 – Bad JPEG decoding in Konqueror

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Mitchell Mebane 2003-05-29 11:29:47 UTC]

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.

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?

[Comment 4 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2003-06-17 06:16:44 UTC]

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.
