Bug ID: 154428 Summary: Shapes suddenly vanish from a Writer Frame after edit Product: LibreOffice Version: 7.5.1.2 release Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: Writer Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: bugzi...@rhynas.com Whilst updating an existing Writer document, I discovered (belatedly) that several standard shapes used in diagrams have vanished completely! This was only apparent AFTER document Reload. At the time of edit (and save) all graphics were present OK. The document uses several Frames, each containing some text plus a small diagram comprising basic shapes and lines. I'm using LO 7.5.1.2 via the Ubuntu PPA on Mint 21.1. The issue is also present with the 7.5.1.2 AppImage, but the 7.4.6.2 AppImage works OK. Note the problem is particularly insidious as the 'damage' is not detected until you next open the document. (At first I wondered if the shapes had somehow become hidden, but then realised they had disappeared from Style Inspector as well) STEPS TO RE-CREATE ------------------ This may not be the only sequence to provoke the defect, but it is repeatable. 1. Open a new Writer document and add a Frame via Insert > Frame > Interactively. 2. Insert a few (e.g. four) graphics objects e.g. square, circle, hexagon, triangle. The default Anchor is 'Paragraph' and default Wrap is 'Through'. 3. Save the document, then Reload. All shapes should appear as originally added. 4. Group two objects, then Save & Reload. Observe the grouped objects have moved hard-left and Wrap changed to 'Parallel' without user intervention. This is suspicious and does not happen with LO 7.4.6.2 AppImage. 5. Select and drag the grouped object back to original position, Save/Reload and no further change observed. 6. Select original Group and change Anchor to 'Frame'. Save/Reload, no change observed. 7. Create another shape and add to existing group. This enlarged group will still be anchored to 'Frame'. 8. Save/Reload. Observe the newly extended group has vanished, including from Style Inspector.
