multiplying pasted image (chart)
Sorry if this doesn't warrant a major label although there was a real risk of
either the document or my computer crashing and I had to shut the programme
down and start from my last saved file. If I used the recovery the programme
would start with the same problem.
Generally writer has been quite poor at handling images and pasted charts (from
calc). I have been forced to anchor to a page in order to prevent them jumping
from page to page seemingly at random (sometimes three pages sometimes more),
although that means that once I write past that page I have to re-paste the
image in the proper place in the document.
This observation is what led to the bug. I tried to use paragraph anchoring
hoping the image (a chart from calc, selected from just the cells with data in
them) would continue moving down the document as I wrote above it. Instead, the
image jumped half-way up the document (about 40 pages) I hit undo, to bring it
back, cut the image, pasted it two pages down, and set paragraph anchoring
again and the image began self-replicating. I took a screen shot before
shutting down the programme in case it crashed the programme or my computer (it
was already getting very slow). It had replicated over 400 times to 400 pages
within half a minute and was not stopping. You can see this from the page count
in the bottom of the picture. It was not a huge deal in terms of losing my
document since I had just saved, although I cannot get the image to stay put
and continue moving down as I write.
