Gerrit image compare

Question

I want to enable diff for images in gerrit. After looking into the documentation

https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/config-gerrit.html#mimetype

[mimetype "image/*"]
  safe = true

was added for all images. We are running Gerrit Code Review (2.13.3), so in my opinion the image diff should already work.

What the diff looks like

index 84873aa..8bf6da5 100644
--- a/Graphics/hand_bitmap.png
+++ b/Graphics/hand_bitmap.png
Binary files differ

What am I missing?

Looks like there is a bug in the current releases, see: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=5197
