Description

System Information
Operating system and graphics card
Intel Skylake i5 6600K 3.5Ghz
16Gb memory
GTX 660Ti 3Gb

Blender Version
Broken: Version 2.76 Added background image becomes removed
Worked: Version 2.72 (the version I used before updating to 2.76). I don't know about other versions after 2.72

Short description of error
Added background image is removed when blend is closed and reopened the next session.
The background image information in the N panel is also removed when this occurs.
The background image must be added, resized and repositioned every new session because of this problem.
"Pack an image as imbedded data into the .blend" file does not help with this problem.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Add an image, save the file and close Blender. Reopen blender, select the file to open from recent. See the background image and information have been removed.

Do you have the "Load UI" option disabled in your preferences?

Currently the images are stored in the interface and using this option will load without images.

Yes I do have Load UI disabled. I didn't realize it would effect the back ground images.

Will stored images be relocation where they won't be effected by other settings?

Currently no short term plans to relocate them.
For images to be used in the scene you can use empty-images.
