This is a setting, "auto-shrink-images" in WebKitGTK+, that we have set to FALSE and I guess Midori has set to TRUE, if I understand correctly what you are talking about. Does Midori show images shrinked by default allowing you to click to expand them?

Yes

Epiphany used to zoom 1:1 initially and allow to resize-to-screen on click. I'm in favor of re-implementing the old behavior.

So you mean exactly the opposite behaviour to what Xan talked about in comment #2, don't you? That is, to show the original size by default and shrink if clicked only.

I've filed a new bug in WebKit asking for the required changes to get this bug fixed. Also, suggested there two proposals to fix it and attached patches for both of them.

Depending on the proposal finally accepted (assuming of them would be accepted :-)) the patch for epiphany could be as simple as "do nothing" (no patch) or as adding a new hardcoded property,more or less this way (proposal 1):

Let's see how it evolves...

Looks like I forgot to add the review? flags in WK bugzilla back in December, so the patches got overlooked :(

Updated both of them against last trunk of WK and uploaded the new versions along with the review? flags. Hope we can get this fixed soon now...

Sorry for me being so absentminded :/
