Description: Issue found while verifying bug 1140619. When double tapping to zoom, the zooming action would pause halfway and finishes zooming a second later. STR: 0) Take some pictures using the device camera 1) Open Gallery and tap to open an image 2) Double tap to zoom in Expected: Zooming is smooth and nothing out of ordinary should occur. Actual: Zooming is not smooth. While zooming it appears to pause for a second and after it finishes zooming the resolution of picture then becomes clear. (continued STR if step 2 doesn't repro): 3) Tap on back button to return to Gallery main view, and repeat steps 1-2. Repro frequency: 8/10 Note that currently on Aries we have bug 1181290 exhibiting in Gallery. To avoid seeing that issue, I used Flame to demonstrate this issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pehWCm6Y0FM Also attaching a logcat.

This issue appears worse on Flame 2.2. In place of the zooming pause on 2.5, 2.2 shows a shifted image for the duration of the pause, and then resumes zooming.

[Blocking Requested - why for this release]: This issue as an offshoot of bug 1140619 which was a blocker for gallery.

Broken functionality. Blocking 2.5 with P3 priority.

[Blocking Requested - why for this release]: Please reconsider the blocking flag. What's happening here when we zoom in is that we switch from the EXIF preview image to the full-size image. The 1 second lag is the time it takes the device to decode the image. There's nothing we can do about that. And the tiny jump in the image means that the EXIF preview and the full-size image are not perfectly matched. When the jump happens, I expect that you should also notice the image become sharper. Bug 1206206 might reduce the wait before the full-size image is displayed, but I'm not certain if it will. On the Aries device, the camera does not produce suitable EXIF previews, so we don't use them at all, and you don't see that little jump after the image is decoded at full size. In order to get rid of that tiny jump, I'd have to decode the full image instead of using the preview, and that would have a noticeable performance impact on the display of images before they were zoomed, and would probably have a noticeable memory usage impact as well. Basically, I'm really not sure there is anything we can do about this. Rather than making it a blocker, I'd rather resolve it as a WONTFIX.

Based on comment 4, removing from blocking release. But keeping it open and linking to bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1206206 to re-check if that helps when the dependency lands.
