Hi all,

Sorry, I'm a long time reader, but new poster to the forums, so I cannot actually add this to the appropriate dev thread. I am having the same issue as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41419120#post41419120

Unfortunately, the issue is a little bigger than just what is shown there, so I will be as specific as possible.

1. Using the Trebuchet launcher that comes with CM10.1, if I load a standard (non-live) wallpaper, while a standard wallpaper is currently being used, I get the results shown from the other post. If I select a live wallpaper first, and then select a standard wallpaper, it displays correctly. This would be sufficient enough work around, however, the working space in Trebuchet with the device in portrait does not resize properly, so there are huge gaps at the top and bottom of the homescreens that cannot have icons / widgets placed. This is a major usability issue.

2. Using a third party launcher, like Apex or Nova, the wallpapers always have the shown issue, however, they provide the full workspace for placing icons and widgets onto the device. Nova appears to behave a little better, but the visual layout makes things appear very phone like (icons appear somewhat magnified - not quite sure how to describe this, but I will try to get some screen captures to include here in the AM).

Overall the device behaves perfectly with these few exceptions. Unfortunately this is my wife's device, and she is less tolerant of finnicky behavior (she's been living with an iPhone for her last phone cycle, so is tired of the finnicky behavior). Unfortunately, the only response I've found to the previous poster was "Use a different launcher", so I'm hoping someone out there has some other ideas suggestions!

P.S. After doing a little further messing around, I downloaded a random large sized wallpaper image and tried using it - in Trebuchet, it appears to load correctly, as it does in Nova. In Apex, it almost looks right, but along the very bottom, there is a thin line, just a couple of pixels high, where you can see a very similar thing to what is shown in the other post, where it almost looks like part of the image is being duplicated and shifted to the right.
