Description G.Wolfe Woodbury 2016-03-30 12:29:33 UTC

The most recent unstable updates of chromium and google-chrome-beta are failing to properly show animated GIFs that are embedded (for example) in FaceBook pages. Clicking an animated GIF generates some odd masking effects and subsequent vertical scrolling leaves "rubber stamp" artifacts in the bounding box of the GIF

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.keyword and install www-client/chromium-50.0.2661.39
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
as in Description

Expected Results:  
proper display of animated GIFs

It does not appear to be a system problem, since using gwenview or other graphics viewers can display animated GIFs stored on the local filesystems.

Sorry for late update on this.

Do you have specific steps to repro this? A specific GIF file would be ideal.

Since you're saying the problem could be reproduced in Google Chrome, please consider filing a bug on http://crbug.com (feel free to post the link here).

This is now out-of-date.
Recent versions of Chrome and Chromium have rendered the issue moot. GIFs
now render correctly.

Closing the bug.
