FM 2017 imports PDF images at smaller than full size

Question

My company just upgraded to the 2017 Release (14.0.4.511) of FM. In all previous versions (and my experience goes all the way back to version 2.0 ), when I import a PDF file (or any image file), it places itself in an anchored frame at 100%, spanning columns if needed. In the current version, when I do this, it scales down the image to an apparently random percentage. For example, I just imported the same file three times into the same text flow. One came in at 22.22%, the next at 40.06%, and the last at 45.32%.

Is this a bug? How can I get the images to import at full size by default?

Thanks.

Still looking for help with this.Apparently, this is related to the column width. The images get scaled to fit in the column where they are anchored. I can see where this would be very helpful in many workflows, but I'd still like to have the option to have everything default to come in at 100%, like it used to. It's a pain to always have to re-scale the image and then manually resize the anchored frame.Am I out of luck?(BTW - i can't seem to duplicate the behavior I described above where the same image came in at three different sizes, but I can say that in one case, I was anchoring in a paragraph that spanned columns.)
