Chrome Doesn't Restart Animations
Issue #145
new
When an animation, like a popup, is displayed on Chrome, it will not reload the animation after it is first used. This means that animations do not restart, as demonstrated here. There is no known standard way to restart an animation. Per Unas's response here, forcing a restart requires obscure tricks, especially due to file caching.
This issue may not be fixable until future Chrome releases.

To quote his report, "So, to test it out, I created a gif, set to loop only once, and made a test case similar to the I145 test case. On Windows 10, Google Chrome, Version 51.0.2704.103 m (64-bit), the animation will only play once, and never restart after changing the frame. This is true for popups, places, and character sprites. One exception is if you start with the popup, the animation will restart when switching to place version of the gif, but it will not restart after that.
On the other hand, Firefox, Version 47.0.1 will restart the animation after changing the frame. This is true for all previously mentioned cases."
Reproduced on my El Capitan.

Following up an old lead shows that this is the case for popups, but this bug does not impact places. The test case has been updated to show this.
