Summary

Whilst viewing the following post (see below) I noticed that the included animated gif wasn't displaying (at the time of originally viewing this image, I was presented with a broken image icon and placeholder, which then was rendered to the Minds lightbulb image).

On further investigation, I found the following error:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 13989992 bytes) in /var/www/Minds/engine/Controllers/fs/v1/thumbnail.php on line 51

This error suggests that there is a maximum allowable image file size of 13.98MB (decimal - base 10 standard) / 13.34 MiB (IEC binary - base 2 standard). According to the above error, it seems that the original image has a file size that amounts to just over 134MB (128MiB).

Strangely, it seems that several other users can view the animated gif and there has only been one other user that has reported having a similar experience as myself (reported this issue within a comment which was added to the post).

So considering that this issue seems to be effecting only a minority of users, I am very intrigued and would like to gain a better understanding of what is causing this issue (I am wondering if this has something to do with either the end-users ISP provisions and / or Minds CDN provisions).

Steps to reproduce

If the image within the following post is not being displayed correctly then using Mozilla Firefox (or a Firefox derivative / Quantum rendering engine based browser) or Chromium (or Chromium derivative / Blink rendering engine based browser), view the resulting modal box (which should result in displaying the spinning "loading" wheel within the modal dialog box) then right click on the resulting rendering ("loading" image) and select the "view image" (Firefox) or "open image in new tab" (Chromium) menu item.

Platform information

Seems to be end-user platform neutral. Checked using x86_64bit versions of Mozilla Firefox (version 69.0.1 - Quantum rendering engine), Chromium (version 77.0.3865.90 - Blink rendering engine) and Midora (version 9.0 - Webkit rendering engine)

What is the current bug behavior?

See above

What is the expected correct behavior?
