    Default Pasteboard trouble

    Yes, it's me again with yet another issue...

    ***NOTE - this is for WD10***

    I have finally completed the main version of the current site I am working on and have now moved on to the mobile variant. Because there is just so much info to transfer over to the 480 mobile variant( I MUST use it all - I can not cull it down )the pages are very long. Much longer than the main site pages. Not a big deal as I can just make them longer to fit what I need. Unfortunately, I have run into an issue I have not had before and need help.

    I want to use an image on the pasteboard to set colored bars across the page in various areas and avoid the "box in the middle" look you get with Xara unless you use a background/pasteboard image or solid color( pasteboard and background/page ). I have done this before and it works great for the style of sites I am now doing. I have run into a problem though with these extra long pages. The pasteboard image does not cover the entire top to bottom area like it should. It repeats itself part way down through the area I need covered vs. being full length? I haven't had this happen before but them again I am new to the whole variant thing and have never had a mobile variant page this long either so...?

    I am doing it the same as always...

    1 - Create image then export as JPEG ( I make it the exact size I need )
    2 - Import the JPEG then delete it
    3 - Open bitmap gallery>select the JPEG>set as pasteboard ( tiled )

    Note - I have stopped sharing across the variants so I am just working on the mobile variant. Main version is fine.

    It does everything I want it to side to side but it doesn't stretch/fit the full distance to the bottom of the page? Again, it is only going part way before repeating itelf. I have tried making the image bigger( 200% and 300% increase - no change )before importing and I have checked all the settings I can find but can't seem to get it to fit properly? What am I missing?

    I have added an example this time before anyone asks. The pages are set to the length I need for the variant. Page 1 shows the image I made to the left of the page( I changed the white area to gray just so it stands out when you look )and page 2 shows it with the image set as the pasteboard using the method described ^^^.

    As you can see it does not go the full length of the page and thus the colored areas are off, there are colored areas in the middle where they don't go, and of course there is a big blank area at the bottom. Looks like I hit some kind of max height limit and it repeated itself mid page?

    Any help on what to do now would be greatly appreciated.
