Description:
For a few days, JPEG images haven't displayed in Chromium and Epiphany (it works fine on Firefox though). There's room left for them, from what I can see in the Developpers tools, they're loaded properly, I can download them and show them in the image viewer. I've got no error log when I launch the browser from a terminal. As both browsers are webkit-based, I guess it might come from the GTK webkit package (by the way, I'm using Gnome as a desktop environment). I've read that Chromium didn't used libjpeg to read JPEGs but cairo, I've tried to reinstall the related packages but nothing happened. Additional info: * package version(s) * config and/or log files etc. Steps to reproduce: |
This task depends upon

I'm trying to figure out who to assign this to. Any more information that might pinpoint where the problem lies?
Do you know which packages are involved during JPEG decompression? I'll look for recent updates of those packages in pacman logs, downgrade them and try to figure out which package has a problem.
I've also noticed that some JPEG images wouldn't display on Firefox.
Everything's fine when I download them and open them with the images viewer.
The weird thing is that this bug only concerns browsers. It might have something to do whith the fact that the images begin to display before their loading is complete but I have no idea of what package is involved in this process.
However I reinstalled the whole system last night and JPEG support works fine. I don't know to what extent we can consider that this problem is solved. Il save my pacman. If the problems happens again when I install a package I might find out which one is responsible.
