I noticed a 2013 bug report that mentions this issue but that was closed as of version 1.4.something.
Thank you,
Paul

A document should be added to an event. A picture of the person is the one that should be shown on the left side of the name.
EDIT: unticked the "Highlighted image"
Use this field to signal that this media item is the highlighted or primary item for the individual it is attached to. The highlighted image is the one that will be used on charts and on the individual’s page.

I have a very large number of document images, almost all of which are associated with individuals rather than events or sources and moving them isn't a practical possibility. I'm not sure I'd want to do that anyway as some relate to various events and family members.
I'll just de-highlight each problem one as I see it.
Paul
EDIT: That may be as painful as attaching them to events - I just checked one problem case and he has nine document images, several of which are 'odd shapes'.

Humm... the cause may be different then...
What is the URL of your website?

Sorry, I don't mean that they are distorted at present, just that I'd have to select one from the nine that 'looks right' as a thumbnail - they are odd shapes as in the originals are snippets from pages etc rather than nice 4:3 proportioned images.
(My site is locally hosted I'm afraid).
In essence I was just surprised that the thumbnails aren't kept in proportion when scaled down to 100 pixels wide (or whatever) as they are on the media tab.

I think you're right, but it's a bit late in the day for me to change things now

I have similar images assigned to some individuals who do not have any other media attached, hence the problem.

Yes Ken, that is what I meant.

The "highlight" image should be a picture of the person.
