Description

@andybalaam

Steps to reproduce

  1. In Settings, Preferences, set "Autoplay GIFs" to false
  2. Get someone to send you a GIF
  3. Hover over it to make it animate

Outcome

What did you expect?

I expected to be able to read the text in the GIF: I explicitly hovered over it to animate it.

What happened instead?

The filename of the GIF obscured the text I wanted to read:
