Bug 16508 – Regression: Transparency mis-decoded in interlaced GIFs

• Component: Images
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Peter Kasting]

GIFImageDecoder.cpp (not used by Safari, but used by various other WebKit ports) has a bug I introduced several weeks ago which causes it to mis-decode transparent sections of interlaced GIFs, by not overwriting earlier rows' opaque pixels with later rows' transparent ones.

It's not too tricky to fix this.  Patch coming shortly.

patch v1

Sometimes we need to overwrite our buffer with transparent pixels, and sometimes we need to not do it.  This lets the GIFImageReader code tell us which one is the case.

I did notice this regression. Patch looks sane, but haven't had the opportunity to review it closely yet and it does break the GTK+ build at least:
