XnViewMP v1.5.3 x64 - GIF animations often not playing

Hello, I've upgraded XnViewMP from v1.5.0 to v1.5.3 and I suddenly have a problem with GIF animations.
I can't reproduce it consistently, but they tend to not play anymore most of the times (I just see an empty space even if the frames are advancing).
If I'll find more info I'll let you know, but please check this.
I've uploaded an example file that doesn't seem to play at all anymore (in the program).

Nobody? Please someone tell me at least if the example GIF still works for you in the program.

What OS You have?
On my Win11 GIF animation files are OK.

Thanks for replying, guys.
I have an old Win7 (yeah..), but it should be supported.
GIFs worked before in XnViewMP and still do in Firefox.

Err.. nvm, I tried various things, like deleting the catalog and reinstalling the program and now the GIFs seem to work again.
Weird bug.
Thanks. Solved, I guess..
