Hi Drew, Thank you, I finally got it working under Linux by adding a couple of extra steps in the image properties: * Uncheck keep ratio. * Reset to original size Best Regards Dave On 30.05.2019 04:50, Drew Jensen wrote: > Oops - I had to go play around and add that sound file! rendered one

Yes, creating the frame and inserting an image into it is a partial workaround, but it is not they way OOo and earlier versions of LO worked, even if anchoring was not always great. Inserting the image into the frame is fine, but the auto-generated frame around the inserted caption still cannot be

I have the same results as Drew. I am using LO 6.2.4.2 from our LO website. O/S: Ubuntu 18.04. I too opened a new Writer window, added a frame, and inserted a screenshot into it. Dan On 5/28/19 11:54 AM, Drew Jensen wrote: I'm just not having the problems you are with images, in fact it seems

I'm just not having the problems you are with images, in fact it seems to be working much better for me now then it ever did before. As for the autosizing option, I just did that with a blank document, inserted image in a frame and the option is there. Using Version: 6.2.5.0.0+ Build ID: 23ccf16e9

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 prop

Neither. I believe Writer's handling of images is astonishingly buggy, and has been for many years. I draw your attention to https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47148 and also http://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/Blogs/Off-the-Beat-Bruce-Byfield-s-Blog/The-mysteries-of-position

I have just run into an issue I don't recall having encountered previously. After inserting a small PNG image and adding a caption, I want to increase the width of frame without resizing the image. I have tried several different combinations of anchoring the image and frame, but nothing prevents th
