Bug Description

Today's digikam update (0.9.1-1ubuntu3) broke loading files in image editor. Depending on window size and file resolution, misplaced horizontal bars appear on image (if window size is the same, looking at the same file brings those bars in the same places in successive runs - looks like error in the new caching algorithm)

What I just tried, was downgrading to 0.9.1-1ubuntu2. The bug does NOT exist in this version, so most likely there is a bug in the cache mechanism introduced in ubuntu3 version.

I can confirm this bug, same symptom as in the screenshots above.

As an additional information, it regularily happens when editing a 8MP photo at 100%, and then clicking "Zoom AutoFit". Zooming out manually to see the whole image (Zoom Out to 43.75% for me) works fine, but is tedious.

I have the saqme problem on a 64-bit machine. I use GNOME asw the desktop and have simply installed digikam by "apt-get install digikam". In the form of now it is unusable and it can perhaps simply be fixed by reverting/removing the cache mechanism change.

I appreciate if this gets fixed for the Feisty release.

For Kubuntu users this is probably the default image management and post-processing software. I think a Kubuntu where you cannot edit your digital photos cannot be released as a desktop distro.

It wasn't the tile-cache-fix. Removing image-artefacts-on-large-zoom-values
fix the problem here. I'll ask for an upload of the attached debdiff.
