Comment 5 Nate Graham 2025-10-21 15:18:49 UTC 
This is a five year old issue. If you're still encountering the same symptoms years after it was originally fixed, it's quite possible your issue is different and unrelated to this original issue. Please open a new bug report about it, and attach the exact image you're using that looks blurry. Thanks!
