Hello , I'm new to open-source development. I would like to find out in which part of the source code text wrapping around the image happens when a new image is inserted. This would greatly help me resolve this bug(121546) and personally It would help me in learning how to find the right part of the source code corresponding to functionalities. I'm sorry for repeatedly asking for your help. I want to definitely fix this bug. Please help me with this. Also is there an approach that I need to follow generally to find out which part of code could correspond to a functionality that I'm searching? I searched for insert graphic/text wrap and followed a chain of hyperlinks and was not able to exactly figure out where this whole part of text wrapping happens. Please help me!!!
