------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Jun 11 05:42:01 +0000 2008 ------- Pasting a figure into a frame works if the frame is in the middle of the page. But if the frame happens to fall at the top of the single text column on a page, then pasting the figure into the frame instead somehow plasters the figure onto every page of the document rather than into just that one frame. How to demonstrate: First demonstrate how the paste operation is expected to work. Open two documents at the same time: one, a Writer document containing multiple pages, and the other, a Draw document. Make some simple figure in the Draw document, with various boxes and arrows. Now back in the Writer document, go to the second page in the document, and after some initial text on that second page, create a new frame, one that lies somewhere in the middle of the page. Make it 6"x0.2", with autosized height, as you create it. Once it's on the page, click elsewhere in the page to deselect it. Go back to the Draw document, type Ctrl-A to select everything in your simple figure, then Ctrl-C to copy it. Go back to the Writer document and click the text cursor in the frame you just created. Now type Ctrl-V to paste the figure there. The figure will end up in the middle of that page, as you would expect. Now to demonstrate the failure, follow the same procedure, but this time, put enough text on the page and select the position of the new frame within that text such that the frame cannot fit on that page and instead ends up at the top of the following page. Now go through the same copy/paste procedure. What you will find is that the figure ends up not just on the page where you pasted it, but on every other page of the document! It is nearly impossible to figure out a workaround, as there is no obvious clue as to why the failed paste does not work as expected. Only a lot of stumbling around and experimenting finally yields an understanding of the boundaries of the bug. That makes it very difficult for most users to accept Writer as a workable product, if figure inclusion is a common part of their documents. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
