Label text disappears

Hi all,

My label has css applied to it which refers to a background image.
The image property of the label is empty (the image comes from css).
The media options are set to ‘Reduce/Enlarge’ and ‘keep aspect ratio’ is NOT checked (because ‘repeat-y’ is not supported in Servoy css).
PROBLEM: when I uncheck the ‘ratio’ property my label text disappears. I check it back - text comes back.
QUESTION: is it expected behaviour and how do I work around it?

Cheers,
Maria

P.S. The css on the label:

label.section_header
{
	color: #FFFFFF;
	background-color: #606B5B;
	background-image: url(media:///col_1_header_item.png);
	border-top: 1px solid #A5B39C;
	border-right: 1px solid #76836F;
	border-bottom: 1px solid #454C41;
	border-left: 1px solid #76836F;
}

P.P.S. The label text comes from i18n’ed ‘text’ property of the label.

Anyone?
The image doesn’t have to come from css, the text is lost if the label’s ‘imageMedia’ is set, too.
