Replicated

- Immich 2.5.0
- Web App
- Firefox 147.0.1 & Chromium 144.0.7559.96
- Fedora 43

Notes

Tried with a 48MP iPhone's 15 JPEG image.
Can also happen with relatively small images.
(Firefox) The blank screen appears as long as you keep scrolling for zoom.
(Firefox) For me, the wait time between stop scrolling and the image being fully loaded is less than half a second.
(Chromium) The blank screen lasts less than half a second regardless of how much you keep zoom-scrolling.

The bahavior before 2.5.0 was that original is showed once it's fully loaded without any blank screen. Same behavior in Firefox and Chrome, scrolling doesn't affect blinking or loading.

I'm having this weird issue as well, this did not happen before 2.5.0

Here's the full logs when I click a photo, the asset id is e3f66585-717a-4d06-b361-6f652f72388e, though as you can see from the output, there are other asset ids not related to the photo I click, I'm not sure why but let's not worry about it for now.

Then when I scroll the wheel on the mouse to zoom in, immich shows a blank page (it blinks) and shows the photo again.

Then one more line is printed in the docker log:

DEBUG [Api:LoggingInterceptor~4fuu8x38] GET /api/assets/e3f66585-717a-4d06-b361-6f652f72388e/original?c=UkkKHQKPlXl2iWx4h1iXeVQQYhBA&edited=true 200 49.12ms ::ffff:172.18.0.1

I'm pretty sure the "Display original photos" is disabled all the time.

This bug is very annoying because it wakes up the external drive where the original photo is, this is definitely not something I desire because immich will stop responding for maybe 10 seconds until the external drive is fully ready.

Same issue. The old behaviour was great. I found image I needed, zoomed where I want (e.g. to check terminals on electrical panels) and meanwhile the full version loaded. With the new one, I zoom in, the screen goes black and spinner spins until full image loads. And it takes quite a bit of time since I have thumbnails on SSD but the full resolution images on HDD that is usually stopped and needs to spin up first.
