In reply to: " @jasonclevine Images are not displaying full size in image rotator after upgrading to WP 3.3.1. See http://ow.ly/92oQ6 for example. The images that are displaying correctly were added prior to update. The images that are displaying incorrectly were added after the update. All images are 594px x 31px. Any suggestions? " -Asked by Smallbizcafe

Smallbizcafe Toronto

Possibly many. I can duplicate it on the image rotator leaf #headwaythemes and the promotion slider plugin. It seems that WP3.3.1 is reducing the size of the image somehow before it displays it. For example, if I increase the image size by ~ 173% it displays properly. If I insert it at 100% it shrinks.
