I have not looked at the code however I hope that this issue is addressed.

This appeared to be "as designed" in safari. The only solution I'm currently aware of is to save images as progressive jpgs. This gets around the limitation imposed by Apple.

This will only happen with JPG images, and if you use the progressive when saving, it works fine.

That was only non-progressive JPGs
