    I have found one anomaly when dragging pictures into WLW. If I drag a PNG file the borders are set to None and the size is original. If I drag a static GIF file also None but if the GIF is animated the borders are set to "Inherit from blog" instead and the size is small. I also see that the two buttons are disabled to rever ot save settings.
    I use build 14.0.8064.206 en.

    Jimmy, this is by design. We treat animated GIFs differently. You'll see similar image editing options available if you insert an image from the web. We made these changes in order to not mess with the animated GIFs. Image operations like applying borders etc can edit the GIF in a way that it wont be animated anymore, which is not what most users wanted.

    Hope that helps! Thank you for using Writer!
