.ecw rasters not correctly projecting in ArcGIS Desktop 10.3

[KristinBlier]

Anyone else seeing this? Not sure how many people use .ecw format out there, but this seems like a pretty big regression (there's some precedent for this though... I remember the initial 10.0 release couldn't load .ecw at all).

As displayed in 10.3-- images should be the same size as the polygon squares, instead they render a tiny square in the upper left corner:

Hi Kristin,

Would it be possible for you to zip and upload the ECW you are working with?

Not publicly, the imagery has redist restrictions. Is there another way? I opened a support request this morning, so maybe that would be more appropriate.

It only took a month, but ESRI came through and matched this up with an existing bug. Not sure why there's so many hoops to jump through to get to this point. Not holding my breath on a fix....
