Looping GIF doesn't loop anymore after optimization

Hello.

Thanks for the awesome software!

One issue I'm having is that looped GIFs stop looping after optimization :(

Would be great if you could fix it.

Thanks anyway!

Can you share the original file?

Sorry, I've removed the original file already :( However, it's easy to reproduce the issue. I'm using the Monosnap app to create animated gif screenshots. After optimizing the images with ImageOptim, the gif doesn't loop anymore. Doesn't happen every the time though.

If you're able to reproduce it with another anim, please attach it here so that I can investigate.

I've had this happen to me reproducibly like this:

  1. Use licecap to create a GIF of some UI things in macOS. (I used version 1.32.)
  2. Use ImageOptim (I used version 1.8.8)
  3. Reference the optimized GIF in an <img> tag and view this in Google Chrome.

Result: the GIF does not loop.
