Bug Description

r16

What you expected to happen
After clicking "Removing images" in the custom backgrounds section, I expected something to happen.

Hit "Remove images…" button
It grays out and add images turns to cancel
there is no way to complete the action

What happened instead

I expected a) all images to be removed b) some indication of what to do next (i.e. to complete the action)

The spec could be updated with a detail on how to explain to the user that it needs to select individual images to delete.

> "A “Custom” section, containing any images that you have added to it and not deleted since,
> followed by “Add an Image…” and “Remove Images…” buttons. "

This needs some design work. I agree it's a bit confusing, but I don't think it's Critical.
