Description Vedran Ljubovic 2004-01-13 22:52:05 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.94)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.2.2 
OS:          Linux

Check this page:

It contains about 100 gifs, emoticons to be precise, of which many are animated. As the page loads, animations become slower and eventually stop. A slowdown can be noticed in other Konqueror windows too. Each of these gifs animates just fine when opened in a separate window. Also, Mozilla will show this page with all animations in full speed.

It seems that resizing the windows gets them moving, but still very slowly. 

This is a regression because this bug didn't appear in KDE 3.1.4 (but I think it was also present in 3.1.93)

The linked page is a standard PhpBB page showing all of the available emoticons.
