Bug 237330

The link you gave is not only 1 gif image and does not contain any gif.
Please attach here the gif image which gives you the problems, if it still occurs in KDE >= 4.6.5

I am now using KDE 4.6.2 and the problem still occurs in Konqueror (though not in Rekonq). The link I posted contains an animated gif in a web page, there wouldn't have been any point in linking directly to the gif, because as I said, if you open the gif directly, it works, it's only when it's displayed in a web page that it stops on the first frame.

If you can't figure out where the gif is, there's a red bar across the top of the page, under that is << Previous, a magnifying glass, and Next >> in grey. Under that is the animated gif.

ok, thanks for the details.
I could now extract the problem into a very simple HTML page:

The problem is that whenever an image has a width/height definition, which is different from the images original size, the animation is not done.

E.g.:
<img src="o_508515.gif" width="199" height="167" >

=> no animation

<img src="o_508515.gif">
or
<img src="o_508515.gif" width="199" height="150" >

=> animation works.

I attach the gif image from that page here.

animated gif

i'm experiencing the same on kde 4.7.00/archlinux. the gif-frames do not play unless i move the mouse cursor, which is odd. animations are on.

Go to Settings->Configure Konqueror->Web Browsing->Appearance and set Animations in the Images group to "Enabled" instead of the default "Show Only Once".

Oh wait. You already stated that is enabled. In that case I cannot duplicate this problem.

Just for clarification, I meant this works fine with the webkit engine. Changing component to khtml.

Same problem here (KHTML, set to enabled, animated gifs included in a webpage with a width statement), with Debian testing as of today, Konqueror 4.6.5 / KDE 4.6.5.

Dear user,

KHTML (and KJS) was a long time more or less unmaintained and got removed in KF6.

Please migrate to use a QWebEngine based HTML component.

We will do no further fixes or improvements to the KF5 branches of these components beside important security fixes.

For security issues, please see:

https://kde.org/info/security/

Sorry that we did not fix this issue during the life-time of KHTML.

Greetings
Christoph Cullmann
