Describe the Bug I cannot use background-image to set the background of the ion-content or ion-scroll.

Steps to Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Create new blank App
use scss of the home page (home.page.scss) and add background-image code

Related Code At home.page.scss, none of the following is working

ion-content {
    background-image: url('https://lorempixel.com/400/200/sports/Dummy-Text/');
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: 100% 100%;
}

ion-scroll {
    background-image: url('https://lorempixel.com/400/200/sports/Dummy-Text/');
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: 100% 100%;
}

ion-content ion-scroll {
    background-image: url('https://lorempixel.com/400/200/sports/Dummy-Text/');
}

But if I add the following at global.scss it will work

app-page-home {
    ion-content ion-scroll {
        background-image: url('https://lorempixel.com/400/200/sports/Dummy-Text/');
    }
}

Expected Behavior I expect to be able to change the background image from the page’s scss file

Thanks, its working as expected.

If the Ionic Team could confirm if this workaround is something that should always be used then I will close this issue.

I am going to close this since my above comment should resolve all outstanding issues here, and I have recently pushed a fix for #15635 which will be included in the 4.0.0-beta.12 release. If you are still seeing issues, please create a new issue. Thank you!
