  * Do not update PhotoViewer Image sourceSize everytime the app is
    resized on devices. That way we will not flicker the image everytime
    we toggle fullscreen Animate Image resize (LP: #1425563)
  * Replace the built-in photo editor with the one from ubuntu-ui-extras

Is the status for gallery-app wrong, ie is there still a fix to land?

[Pat McGowan (pat-mcgowan)]

This is clearly not fixed

[Tim Peeters (tpeeters)]

I cannot see any flickering (i.e., frames of black or some other color inbetween the rendering of the resizing image).

What I do see is the status bar and application header hiding/unhiding at the same time, but they are not synchronized. Because of this the space for the photo is changing in a non-fluent way which causes a jittery animation. Is this what the bug is referring to?

If the jittering is a problem, I think it could be solved by instead of a header that animates out, using a semi-transparent overlay header (like in the camera app photo roll). We could also link the header to the status bar so they animate together but that would be something that we cannot do quickly since they are handled by different projects (unity vs the app).

Can we land the outstanding MR for this?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
