(Gotta blog this out so people don’t question their sanity. Too much chatter on Twitter with no documentation.)

You’re not crazy. Twitter is untiling the background image in a lot of peoples’ profile. And it wasn’t a one-time thing that we can now repair. It happened, you set it back. It happens again.

Guess who’s not crazy.

Broken:

Fixed:

But it’ll probs break again.

The Twitter support account, which regularly tweets about known bugs, has not mentioned this in the week-ish it’s been going on.

Update: Found this in the Twitter developer forums. Twitter engineering knows about the background tiling issue as of 4 days ago. (But asks for it to be submitted to @support, not developer area. Technically makes sense. But there is no publicly-searchable support forum, so I’m sympathetic to why the user did it.)
