**Problem:**
On pressing the Copy button we keep waiting in AWT-EventQueue thread in reconstruct() function as we detect that we have missing information for the animated image since we are copying single frame at a time.
Due to this infinite wait the application freezes.
**Proposed Fix:**
There are conditions in the reconstruct() function that avoid entering the wait() code if we have some error reading the image , etc. So, I added the condition to avoid entering the wait() code if we are copying single frame at a time. This sounded logical to me since if we have incomplete information(single frame) about the animated image we shouldn’t keep waiting, as it leads to infinite wait.
After this change I see the GIF image being correctly copied and animated.
**Testing:**
Added a test for this (bug6176679.java) and tested locally on my Windows machine and on mach5.
