Thanks for checking the archives. I also did a quick scan but couldn't find anything.
I think I have pinned down when the image vanishes.
It is when both dimensions of the image display size are too large to fit in the box.
With a smaller width - the image is constrained in the box by width - and the height is smaller than the box.
When I increase the width - the image expands to fill the width - and the bottom of the image gets closer to the bottom of the box.
When I go beyond to the point where the image height exceeds the box - then the image vanishes!
At 2.3in width - the image displays and just fills the box, at 2.4in the image does not display as it's height would be larger than the box.
And I increased my sizes by 0.5in which allowed the image to expand and vanish!
SO - an image IS constrained by the WIDTH of a box - but NOT the HEIGHT! (And an image display that is too large to fit the box gets suppressed.)
I was using content-height and content-width as these correctly constrain the image in XEP (height and width don't)
and obviously using the size of the block-container to constrain the size in FOP.
But it was too long ago when I set this up.
I have now added a large comment to the relevant XSLT code.
Anyway - thanks to all those who responded.

Mike,
However - my main question still remains:
Why - when an image is displayed 'correctly' - does making the
block-container BIGGER make the image vanish?
Does anyone else have any experience of this?
Yes, if the block-container no longer fits wholly within static-content for example, it doesn't display anything. You could display borders on the block-container to check.
I have also seen logos disappear when the logo itself was much bigger than the block-container and it spat the dummy rather than scale the image down. I think that was only on certain image types (jpg?). I checked the archives quickly but can't find the details, sorry.
Cheers, Roland
