I am trying the 8.2.1 upgrade and my site background image is no longer working.

In version 8.0 I had the following code in the global Code/CSS entry:  
#feature { background: url(%resource(mybackground.jpg)%) no-repeat center; background-size: cover; }

This no longer works in 8.2.1.

However, in v8.2.1 if I use that same CSS in individual page HTML Code/CSS entry it works for that page.

Did you republish all from the file menu?  
Have a url?

This is happening in the designer/app. The old version 8.0 showed the header image correctly in the app (ie. eyeball mode) and simulate window.

Another problem I’m having with 8.2.1 is a very frequent unable to save error “file locked”. I save the project with a different name and it’s ok until I make another change…
