Using today's builds on Mac (as well as other recent builds) of Viewer and AppRunner: - go to mozilla.org ==> The top of the window displays a black rectangle where the "mozilla- banner.gif" should be, then this rectangle disappears and the image is missing.

Hi, Pierre --- I believe this is a duplicate of 3291. What do you think? See ya.

Nope, this is not a duplicate. I did the test described in #3291 and put a breakpoint on IL_GetImage(): the function is called and the URL passed as a parameter is correct. Note: If you go to http://www.mozilla.org/images/ and click on "mozilla-banner.gif", you get a page that is entirely blank except for the URL of the pict which is displayed at the top left corner: http://www.mozilla.org/images/mozilla-banner.gif

I can't get a mac build. (not enough disk space or something.) so I checked pinkerton's build from this morning. The image looked fine to me on www.mozilla.org. why don't you check to see if you have the gifdecoder component in the components directory? -pn

The gifdecoder was (and still is) in my components directory but... I can no longer reproduce the problem. Maybe it's related to my machine: I'm working at home today while I was at the office yesterday when I saw the problem. Reassigned to myself to try to reproduce the problem consistently at the office tomorrow. If I can't, I'll close the bug otherwise I'll check with you Pam and see how we can proceed to fix it.

I can reproduce the problem on my G3 at the office with optimized builds of Viewer and AppRunner fro Apr26 or Apr28. As I wrote in the original description, it displays a black rectangle where the image should be, then the rect goes away and the image is missing. Reassigned to pnunn.

pierre: the machine at the office. Could you check that you have the gifdecoder in the components directory on the machine that won't display the images? thanks. pn

I'm at home today and can't verify right now but I am pretty much certain that the gifDecoder is there because: - I'm using the same tree at home and at the office. I keep them in sync with a Jazz disk. - I was able to display all the images under "http://www.mozilla.org/images/" except for "mozilla-banner.gif". - On the Mozilla page, the bullets on the left panel were correctly displayed (they're GIFs too). You are welcome to go on my machine and verify it yourself. You can use it for debugging if you want (my tree is under the Raptor volume). But beware: if you make any changes to my tree, save a copy on *your* machine (or on a different volume on my machine) because they will be overwritten tomorrow or Monday when I come back to the office and synchronize with the Jazz disk.

Reading my comments above (from yesterday), there is no doubt the gifDecoder was there because I verified the problem with the optimized builds from Apr26 and Apr28 as well as with my local debug build.

Per elig request, marking verified. I checked on my office machine and it can no longer be reproduced with optimized nor debug builds.
