Comment #22 on issue 295 by rablaridash: Animated GIF issues
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=295

I get the impression that there are deeper issues at work here. However, it  
is not
true that "On the web, correct behavior _is_ to be consistent with other  
browsers."
Correct behavior is compliance to standards, such as the HTML or CSS specs.  
Doing
things simply because IE does them is not correct behavior. I've seen  
plenty of
issues here that are marked Evangelism because Chrome is doing the right  
thing - in
contradiction to the behavior of other browsers - and the response is  
essentially
that the web designer should be encouraged to correct their code instead of  
depending
on incorrect behavior. Look at Issue 7237, for example.

In regards to this specific issue, why do browsers have timing clamps at  
all? Why not
display the animation at the rate its creator intended and encoded into the  
file?
What your suggesting is that it is correct behavior to animate an animated  
image at
an arbitrary clamped rate instead of the rate in the file. That doesn't  
make any
sense.

So while I supposed this could be "working as intended", it's certainly  
not "correct
behavior". Animated files are not being displayed correctly. They're being  
displayed
as other browsers have displayed them in the past, but not the same as any  
other
software capable of displaying them (Easy ubiquitous-on-Windows example:  
Windows
Picture and Fax Viewer).
