Preview page issue and phantom background graphic issue  en

I make frequent use of the preview page and in V13 I find that when I close it, the programme closes too - not every time, but frequently. When I restart I get the message saying the project is either in use or wasn't closed properly.

I previously created a site with V11 and used a page background graphic to make it look as though some row background colours were extended to the width of the browser window.

I imported the site into V13 to make use of its facilities and to be able to resize rows without having to use the graphic, which would obviously have to be reworked each time.

NB when I discovered this issue I went back to the copy in V11 and the issue is there as well as in V13: I can't remove the background graphic because there is no longer any reference to it in the Template Structure window - the Image File field is empty and the image isn't showing in the preview box. Nevertheless it appears in every copy of the site I export to a local folder on my PC, and in the programme's own Preview.

I tried uploading then removing a new background graphic but the phantom one still persists.

I can get rid of it by deleting it from the Images folder in the exported site (removing the reference to it in the css file doesn't seem to be necessary), but every time I modify the site (which I do a lot) it's back in the newly exported copy. I need to get it out of the programme.

See www.dmacd.co.uk/ll2017 - the image appears at either side, the white menu bar used to be the same depth as the white stripe in the image but I had to increase the depth of the menu bar.

Seriously? Maybe. I'm still not sure. Because I do not understand, because it was not submitted the name of a file or screenshot with the specified problem areas. But maybe you about this image?

Then you need to remove the background image of the page.

Yes, that's the right image, and as I said I can delete it from the exported files, but I cannot delete it from Website X5 for the reasons stated above.

Fixed.

After deleting the graphic from the project file and finding that the programme regenerated it every time it was started, I deleted the file which was doing this (long filename consisting of random letters and numbers) after finding references to it in a couple of the .xml files.
