After recently rebuilding the gif button has become blank. Clicking it still works but the icon is gone. It should be second from the right on the screenshot below:

Any ideas why this might have happened and how to get it back?

Just double checked and the gif .svg file appears to no longer work, which lines up with my above report:

I think what you have is fixed by

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/fc0da499f83d028d4fab83a8df5cbf78fd171d6c](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/fc0da499f83d028d4fab83a8df5cbf78fd171d6c)

Try updating to latest.

We are completely up to date and we’re still seeing a blank icon, both on desktop and on mobile

Edit: We’re hosted on Azure, FWIW. I can’t think of anything else that is different about our setup that would cause this.

Do you have a CDN fronting assets? Could you cache bust \*.svg in there?

We’re not using a CDN. Is there any way to check that we actually have the icon?

@falco just merged a rename of the icon in the sprite, maybe that will fix the issue for you? Can you pull the update in the theme component and try it?

(Background is that we had a small caching problem in core that may have affected this.)
