Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.0) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Problems with animated gifs have been reported many times, but duplicates of this problems are all closed. The problem: Many (looped) animated gifs only animate once in Konqueror. While browsing the avatar section on Deviantart, I notice that some gifs stop after one loop. In Firefox and Opera they don't, but both those browsers use 100% cpu on these pages. Here's an example: http://www.deviantart.com/view/16632282/ (Another thing, but not really a bug: The animation speed is different, Firefox animates faster than Konqueror in most cases. I thought the image transition periods were hardcoded in the gif, so this is a bit strange.)
Note that the gifs loop properly if they are found in the cache : (using the above example url) * first load : loop once * second load (hit "enter" in the location bar) : loop continuously * reload (click "reload" button) : loop once Also, some gifs seem to loop correctly in all situations. Using kde 3.4.1, gentoo 64bit.
I'm seeing this problem with Konqueror 3.5.2 on Gentoo 32-bit.
Same problem here, using Konqueror 3.5.3 on Debian Sid. Here is another problematic page : http://didier.arlabosse.free.fr/balles/debmills.html The first 2 gifs (movies of the guys juggling) loop properly only if they are in cache, the others gifs (on white background) always loop properly.
Confirmed. For me only the second juggler didn't loop (the one with the yellow balls)
*** Bug 128237 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I can confirm this bug with kde 3.5.4 This is a old bug, i hope it gets resolved
The speed difference seems to be caused by Qt having a minimum interval of 100ms per frame.
Problem still exists in 3.5.9 (Kubuntu 8.04; with page from comment #3, page from original report is not available any more). I cannot reproduce it in SVN trunk rev. 808111: the GIFs always loop continously.
Confirmed for 3.5.9, not reproducible in trunk r810280. As this is not likely to be backported I'm closing this bug.
