If all the pictures are landscape, and the square crop option is selected, then the depth of the background is set to be smaller than that of the images. It looks bad, and upsets the layout of following elements which end up overlapping the images.

I have not tried this in v3.6 since I am having some stability problems with that and do not want to install it at present.

OK. The problem now seems to have gone away - I can only put it down to a cache problem somewhere.

No sorry! I am confused.

It seemed to be working on v3.5, with about a dozen galleries on the site.
I upgraded to v3.6 and the fault described in #1 reappeared.
I reverted back to v3.5 and the fault remains on some, but not all, galleries. I have flushed caches in all the places I can think of, but the problem remains.

I'm using 3.6, and the problem still exists- if I uncheck the "square thumbnails" option, the black background matches up with all of the pictures, but if not, and if all the pictures are landscape, the background is too small height-wise and the images extend downwards a few pixels beyond the background.

Please try the following:

In the album where the problem occurs change the FIRST image (in alphabetic order) to be portrait.

I had the same problem, and after cropping the first image to portrait it solved.
