I have a container background set to a JPEG image, which is a normal 16x9 image. That image is consistently letterboxed, where 1/3 of the vertical height is clipped. What do I tweak in the container inspector to show the full vertical image? ![mrk](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/4/2/42f2a59dd62b8ec937caaacf214bbf45d782eb2e.jpeg) You can see the clipping in the attached PNG. ---

a container has no height when you drop into page, it changes height according to components dropped in or container height / padding etc the background image is part of the container basic showing ---

depends how you want the image to behave at different screen widths
