Research direction

Reproduce the crash in Xviewer 3.4.6 on Mint 22 by opening adjacent WebP and GIF animations and switching with an arrow key. Start from the terminal's segmentation-fault output and investigate the image-transition path; done means switching between these animations without crashing.

Description

 * Xviewer version 3.4.6
 * Distribution - Mint 22

Issue
Xviewer crashes sometimes when going from a webp animation to a gif animation.

When running it with the terminal, it gives this error message while crashing: "Segmentation fault (core dumped)". (Actually the error message was not in english, but I think it's something like that in english...?)

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open a webp animation in a folder where there is a gif animation next to it.
  2. Press an arrow key to change from the webp image to the gif image.

Expected behaviour
Change the image/animation without crashing.

Other information
The images are 480x270, in other words, not very big.
