I have a problem with the backgrounds I use. I am using text backgrounds (with various dimensions). The problem is that the backgrounds wraparound, even though I didn't specify them to wraparound. Why does this happen?

As far as I understand it, that's normal. It's only with rotation backgrounds that you can tell them not to wrap.

Now when I change the background to a rotation background, the background isnt displayed properly. My 512x512 bg gets cut up into chucks about 256x256 (1/4 pieces). And that top corner chunk just keeps repeating. Whats wrong?

You've not set it up correctly :)
Remember rot/scale backgrounds are byte per tile and therefore can only have 256 unique tiles. Also for the setting which would give you a 256x256 text background you only get 128x128 rot/scale.

Ah yes now I understand. Is there a way to stop a text bg from wrapping around?

One way to do it would be to replace the tiles with blank ones when they're about to wrap OR use a couple of windows one for the desired side and another for the top or bottom (just need a maximum of 2 left or right + top or bottom) just need to update a few registers then instead of changing tiles (and maybe having to replace them later).
