My first page
1-
In the master page, I have set the Default page size to 1200x980 px. That is about the pixel count of my 19" sreen. Then, when I choose the start page and choose ‘Use master settings’ in the page panel, a frame is shown that shows these borders. But beyond them there is a stripe of about 80 px at right and about 45 px at bottom, that also shows the background color I have chosen for the page.
If I select one of the items on the page and move it a little, that frame snaps to the outside of that larger area.
Both the master and the page show the same numbers in the Measurement panel.
What is this?
And also, if I deselect ‘Use master settings’ again, the frame does not go away again. ?

The page contains 2 text fields, and an image as pass-through graphic. When I set the Width and Height of that graphic to ‘Fixed’, it is just that: If I open it in a browser and diminish the window, the image is cut at right.
If otoh I set the size to ‘Fixed %’, it scales with the browser window - but also with that windows aspect ratio. The latter is not the meaning. Is there a way to avoid this and still have the image adapt to the browser size?
To try that, I set the size to ‘Flexible’. The image was downsized to about 1/2, and the box frame shrunk to the new size. And it stays that way also after I set the size to ‘Fixed’ again. Even after I deleted the content, enlarged the box, set the Measurements to ‘Fixed’ again and re-imported the image. The Measurement snapped to 'Flexible again. (How) can I revert that? And what is going on here?

If I import the image as pass-through graphic, FW forces me to ignore the resolution. In the Import dialog, the resolution is reduced from 176 to 169 ppi. Well, no big deal. But why?
