You have to think Shape, Web Block, FlexGroup, Blockbackground.

Taking @Gary's demo design file:
  • The image was Justify Right - set to Justify Left.
    • The image was too wide. - Alt-Selected right edge and reduced to page width.

  • WB was too deep - selected and picked bottom boundary and moved up.
  • FlexGroup was too wide - Alt-selected right edge to touch page edge.
  • BlockBackground check - was at origin.
  • Ditto above for Variant.


I also set Main's image to Full Width & Tiled.

FlexBlock_Alignment - Acorn tidy.xar

@Xara - all this is an edge case but it necessarily needs to be automated.

Thanks Acorn, this issue seems to occur only with a FlexBlock, where an object being inserted into the FlexBlock has a width => to the page width; the FlexBlock extends to accommodate the increased width.

I reduced the size of the image, then tried to use Select/Alt to change the FlexBlock width and it just sprung back. Clearly I am not getting something right.

I have found if I set the padding and object margins at [0:0] before inserting the image, the issue does not occur and you can simply resize the "too-large-object" to fit, no problem.

It's likely me here that is the problem, but since I know the issue, I'll not repeat the mistake.
