Unable to tile my Wallpaper

After recent upgrade to Snow Leopard, my wallpaper went from being tiled to being stretched. I went to the "Desktop & Screensaver" preferences and the familiar drop down box is missing. Tried several other images and they behave the same.

Anybody know if this is a bug with Snow Leopard or if some preference needs to be adjusted somewhere?

Your question made me curious, so I ran some tests, (Snow Leopard).
With the standard Apple supplied desktop pictures you are correct, there is no drop-down selection box.
But with some of my own small pictures the drop-down box appears and allows me to Tile the desktop.
I would suggest you try a small image and see what happens.
 
Agreed, some will bring up the drop down but this is an image that I have used before without issue. I have 6 or 8 other favorites that I am not using right now and none of them will tile. When I browse over to my pictures directory however, "snapshots" of my niece and mom will tile but who wants their mom to be a wallpaper.

If there isn't a definitive answer here in the next couple of days, I will load my images in photoshop and make them smaller.

Thanks for the reply
