I've found it that it doesn't always happen on every page.

I've opened a page where it doesn't happen, it all worked fine....the pictures, creating tables and writing inside them. All worked fine till I closed down the program and this same page
is now giving same problem as before. I can't find out what's causing the problem.

Aside from the "picture cloning" I've shown in the attached video below, at about 14-16sec the text is in a table and yet it doesn't show the outline to indicate that which in turn I'm unable to resize the table without manually changing it from the source.

Also please ignore the attachment in the first post. I've uploaded a new version of the file with the tables included, and I've also included a screenshot of how the page looks in LibreOffice. For the record I went ahead and ran a fresh setup of BlueGriffon on another computer (where the software was never installed before) and same problem happened. So I'm assuming it's a bug or I'm doing something wrong.

Once more. thanks in advance if anyone can help me solve this mystery.

Jonny,

I have no idea why BlueGriffon gives the strange effects that you have noted but rather than try to find an explanation what I suspect you want is a fix.

Your ‘buttons’ are just a list of links to somewhere. Each should consist of an image and a hyperlink. In some cases you have an image without a link in other cases you have a link but no image to click.

What is unconventional and technically incorrect, is that you have strung all the images together in a paragraph. Since they are actually a list of images and links they should be formatted as a list. This also makes fault diagnosis much easier.

To do this simply start an unordered (ul) list and insert list items with one image in each.  You can then link the images as necessary.

You then need to set up the css needed so that the ul is given list-style-type: none; (in the lists section of the style properties panel).
Each image will now start a new line. To avoid that for the li set display: inline; (in the Position and layout section).

If you do that I think you will find your pages respond as expected.  At least I hope so!
