we are aware of that problem due to several user reports. But we haven't
been able to reproduce it ourselves yet. For example I just tried your
example description and 4881x3000px show correctly here as do
9762x6000px and 14643x9000px. Because of that we think that it is likely
a graphics driver or hardware limitation (texture size?), so there's
currently not much we can do about that. Might be interesting to see if
a Clutter-based image view (which is what we want to replace the current
view with in the future) can handle this better.

Btw, I remember a report mentioning that the problem is bound to the
display resolution and changing to another could make it work. Maybe it
works for you too.
