PDF output wrong size

[Richard Opheim]

Sorry about that. It's been a while since I posted.
I'm running LyX 2.3.4.3 on WIN10. The class is memoir. I specify that the
paper format should be 8 x 5, but the program doggedly outputs to 8.5 x 11.
Other paper format specifications result in the same problem.The problem is
not caused by tables or figure floats; only by graphics, whether in a
figure float or not. Deleting the graphic allows the program to output to
the size specified in paper format. Downsizing the graphics doesn't help.
This behavior was not noticed until recently because I had been working for
a couple of years on a book in the 8.5 x 11 (letter) format which outputs
normally with graphics inserted.
Please find attached a new file with minimal text, graphic without float,
and nothing in the preamble, which results in the same undesirable output.
