Thank you Greg, I must have remembered completely wrong. I could have sworn there was something to adjust. Yesterday I ended up in a method I used before: Just set an empty text box over the picture which forces the text a bit farther away from the picture. This is my usual workaround, but a bit cumbersome when you want to change the geometry of the picture. By the way, wouldn't such a function be practical? Why wasn't it implemented? Just an idea...
