Pages with animated gifs, such as the the following code, cause the Android alpha app to crash: [[Image:Chicxulub-animation.gif|thumb|right|An animation showing the impact, and subsequent crater formation (University of Arizona, Space Imagery Center). [[Media:Chicxulub-animation.gif|Click here to see the animation]]]] That gif is found in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicxulub_crater and I was able to recreate it with only the gif code here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Ragesoss/test&oldid=604083070 Two stack traces: USER_COMMENT=this article crashes the app every time, on multiple devices.

That thumb URL does not exist at the moment - going to https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d9/Chicxulub-animation.gif/220px-Chicxulub-animation.gif tells me 'failed to render in last 5 attempts, blacklisted' or somesuch. Hence the problem is more general, modifying bug title to match.
