Public bug reported:

I have recently noticed that even after moving a gif into my Pictures
folder, that when going "Settings > Background" and then going to the
tab "Pictures", I am only able to see the images in that folder which
are not gifs, so I have no way of setting the gif as either my
background nor my locked screen image (which is what I would like it to
be). Even when I go to that image and right-click on it and select "Set
as wallpaper" I only get a still image version of it, no animation as
there should be. So it would be really good if you could set gif images
as your backround image and your locked screen image.
