Thanks Drew, Yes, that was the bug and linked blog from where I picked up that " TDF put up a tender to improve the situation with image handling".
I can't believe this obviously broken code got past alpha and finished up in a release. Unfortunately, your steps do not work for me. The image properties dialog offers "relative to", but there is no "autosize" option. I have seen the "autosize" option when editing previously inserted images, but not on a first insert.
