If I drag the image direct from the Bitmap Gallery into the FlexBlock and then resize it, it seems to behave correctly. I don't think this is an issue with a Freehand block; this suggests it has something to do with padding in a FlexBlock, maybe?

Both, there is a process, sadly, needed on both Main and Variant.

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.

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