Bug Description
current build number: 41
device name: krillin
channel: ubuntu-
Test Case:
1. Upload the attached picture to the Pictures directory on the phone (available from [1] or search very high resolution photos on google images)
2. Open the gallery
3. Wait until the thumbnail is available and tap on the picture
Actual Result
The photo never opens, gallery apps uses all available system's memory and eventually OOM killer shoots it.
Expected Result
It either display the photo and if it is not possible due to hardware limitation it fails with an error message the user can understand.
