The only thing i see is https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46437, which touchs the Gif backend. See if reverting http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/68446/trunk/WebCore/platform/image-decoders/gif/GIFImageDecoder.cpp helps.. but i don't think it's the way to go, as it's supposed to fix a crasher. > On Fri, Mar 04, 2011 at 10:28:55PM +0100, Landry Breuil wrote: > > On Fri, Mar 04, 2011 at 07:16:47PM +0100, Dawe wrote: > > > On Mar 04, 2011 11:22, Marco Peereboom wrote: > > > > It seems that an old webkit bug is back in 1.2.7 where it chokes on > > > > animated gifs.
