GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 314184
invalid/corrupt favicons display in a random garbled fashion
Last modified: 2010-12-13 03:45:32 UTC
Please describe the problem: Often, they display as garbled parts of other bookmarks' favicons. Steps to reproduce: 1. bookmark www.ebuyer.com 2. add it to a category that has a button on the bookmarks toolbar 3. open the bookmark folder and observe the garbled icon 4. open another bookmark folder with more icons in 5. go back to the ebuyer bookmark folder Actual results: The icon has changed to a different garbled pattern, occasionally resembling other bookmarks' favicons. Expected results: The icon to not display at all if it is not valid. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information:
Looks like a problem with the gdk pixbuf loader, re-assigning. I'm going to attach a testcase.
Created attachment 51185 [details] testcase Download the favicon: http://www.ebuyer.com/favicon.ico and start the testcase. The testcase loads and displays the icon multiple times; note that the display varies!
Created attachment 51186 [details] screenshot of output from testcase
This is with gtk 2.8.0.
Hmm, a lot of the stop_loading() implementations in our loaders contain something like: /* FIXME this thing needs to report errors if * we have unused image data */ So we generally do a poor job of reporting incomplete images as errors.
The Ebuyer favicon has changed, so I don't see this issue anymore. Does anybody have any reason to believe that this bug is fixed?
