I tried contacting Gmail themselves, but they’re saying “only email us if it’s a login issue”. And their help forums were… unhelpful.

When I set a photo for contacts, some appear on scroll over, and some don’t. Even when I reset the photo repeatedly. I tried empying cookies/cache, no dice. Is it fixable?
