1. In 3D View select View->Background Image... Small window appears. 2. Push "Use Background Image" 3. Click on "Image" Button. File dialog appears. 4. Choose some $DEITY honest jpeg. It even has blue square on the left. 5. Nothins else happens regardless of XY, XZ, YZ, Camera View; Ortho/Perspective projection. No background image for me. Chosen filename also doesn't show up anywhere. However, "Texture:" chooser correctly shows "TE:Tex" unlike filename. See attached screenshot for full picture. Basically it doesn't show chosen filename like tutorials show, and doesn't show bg picture like tutorials and blender forums say.

Created attachment 92009 [details] Blender works. Blender works as should, you have the TX box active, press the cross X to disable it and select a file again
Ick. It works now. ------------------------------ if(G.qual==LR_CTRLKEY) ^^^^^^^^^^ activate_imageselect(FILE_SPECIAL, "Select Image", name, load_bgpic_image); else activate_fileselect(FILE_SPECIAL, "Select Image", name, load_bgpic_image); break;
Ok, closed then (you may use upstream btw to notify about this issue)
