Summary0002678: Viewpoint width and height units cause images to fail to display
DescriptionIf a website uses CSS like

img { max-height: 90vh; }
in an attempt to resize images to suit small screens, Netsurf doesn't display such images at all. It's not a case of not recognising 'vh' and 'vw' as valid units - if you substitute genuine gibberish, e.g. "max-height: 90hjb", then Netsurf will degrade gracefully and simply ignore the CSS altogether. And experiment suggests that it does obey the max-height attribute.
But Netsurf seems to recognise "vh" and "vw" as valid CSS yet respond by refusing to display the graphic in question..

Steps To ReproduceOpen attached sample file. Edit max-height line to various different values.
TagsNo tags attached.

 I just checked - this WORKS correctly in the old version v4358. The image not only displays but resizes as expected.

It does not work on the latest version, v4704 (tried on ARMiniX).
