I saw the bug in which the gravatars turn dark and this does not seem to be the same.  
I want to upload an asset image to the asset thread. So as it says I click on reply then on upload  
and I select the file I want to upload. When it’s uploaded it looks totally pitch black.

In the above example, the first image with gray patterns is how it looks when I link it from the web and the black box under it is how it looks when I upload it from my machine.

if you want the file to try it, it’s here [http://www.ledonneindustries.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/footer\_lodyas.png](http://www.ledonneindustries.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/footer_lodyas.png)
