Background clearing fault.

Hi All,
I am working in the Module Designer (v.2.0.17). When I click on Background & select the Clear button, so I can try a new design, the first image will not clear. Have tried several ways to persuade MD to load up a new image - without success so far.
Anyone else experiencing this annoying little trait?

As a work-around, have you tried switching to a solid color background, then back to an image?
I think I remember having a similar problem when working on an image (in an external editor), then trying to get VMD to load the edited image again (from a file of the same name). IIRC, doing the image-solid color-image dance worked for me in that case.
Cheers,

Hi Terry,

Thanks for that. Yes, I have tried this. It usually works - well, has done in the past. Also tried 'Save As', then turning VMD off & counting up to 10 and turning on - but nothing seems to be working at the moment. Well, if my Mac is not at fault, may I respectfully request that the CA Dev department look into this to see if it can be fixed. I can't proceed until this gets ironed out.

Bummer
Does the same thing happen in a new/empty project, or is it specific to a particular project?
Fwiw, I don't seem to be able to reproduce the behavior on my (Win10), hopefully CA will have a fix for you ASAP.

It happens quite regularly, across the board (and has done right from the time I bought VMD in June last year).
I thought it was just a 'teething problem' so didn't mind figuring out workarounds, but it's becoming a real problem for me now.
hopefully CA will have a fix for you ASAP.
Well, I certainly hope so.
Thanks Terry.
