Bug ID: 43770
Summary: Distorted large images
Product: Wikipedia App
Version: Unspecified
Hardware: Smartphone
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Generic
Assignee: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
Reporter: w...@generalist.org.uk
CC: mgro...@wikimedia.org, yuvipa...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Some articles (such as today's en.wp featured article,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Nixon) have large inline images; in the
case of Nixon, they're set at 600px wide. This causes problems in the mobile
app, but not in the way I expected.
Rather than have the image extend off the side of the screen, or forcing the
whole image to be smaller, it keeps the original *height* but compresses the
width. The result is that a 600x500px image becomes a distorted ~480x500px one
(I'm testing this on a device with a 480px wide screen, using the 1.3.2 Android
app)
Quite a rare problem, this! Would it be possible for the app to handle
unusually wide images by reducing them in size proportionally, rather than just
in one dimension? This seems to be the way most mobile browsers handle the
situation.
