`View - Export - Loop as animated gif` image not always full size #26

When exporting a View animation a .gif using View - Export - Loop as animated gif, the resulting image file may be smaller than expected. It appears to me that the program may be naively taking the size of the first cel. (This behavior is also present in the Sierra Viewer.)

I was expecting the resulting gif to be saved using the max dimensions over all the cels. By contrast, View - Export - Loop as image appears to respect just the max height of the cels.

For example, here are the actual and expected dimensions for View.12200 from the lsl7demo.

Width Height
Min Cel Dimensions 60 18
Max Cel Dimensions 375 310
First Cel Dimensions 71 18
View - Export - Loop as animated gif 71 18
View - Export - Loop as image 6025 310
Expected Loop as animated gif 375 310
Expected Loop as image 7125 = 375 * 19 cels 310

Could not reproduce. I extracted view 12200 and extracted loop 2. The gif is as big as the loop's biggest cel and everything is lined up as it should be.

View12200-2

Sorry, you are absolutely right. The Windows Photos app is displaying it completely wrong.
