One thing - I don't know where to file this enhancement so that it applies to
all OpenOffice programs (Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Base), so I filed it under
Writer. Please re-file it appropriately, and sorry for the inconvenience.
IMO, when most people insert a graphic into a document, and they wish to resize
it, it can be safely assumed that they want the image to maintain its
proportions without them having to do anything except using the mouse in the
normal way to resize the image. I think there should be an option to globally
make this the default behaviour (ie. without holding down the shift key), or
this should be made to be the default behaviour and a shift-key-type-workaround
to resize an image without maintaining its proportions (I think the latter
approach would be more sensible). The only exception I can think of is a
Calc-generated graph.
I recently found out how to alter an image's dimensions proportionally without
having to tick boxes and type in figures manually, so at least I have a
workaround for this issue. It doesn't seem to be common knowledge, judging by
the lack of responses here (though admittedly I didn't explicitly ask for such a
workaround):
