Bug ID: 159827
Summary: Formatting: moving an anchored images makes the text
reflow around the image, not the anchor.
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.4.1 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: freedesk...@richardneill.org
Description:
When inserting an image, it's very difficult to place it in the right place in
a document. While the anchor sits in the right place, the image isn't "in front
of the document, on the layer above" but within the flow of the text. So, as we
move the image around, the text unexpectedly reflows. See screenshots.
Steps to Reproduce:
Consider a simple document where I have:
SIGNED: [signature goes here]
NAME: Richard Neill
I insert a signature PNG and anchor it next to the word signed.
I then try to move the image to be in the right place in the document.
Actual Results:
The image "won't go" where I want it, but is offset to the right.
If I drag the image into the right place, then the text jumps around!
See screenshots:
1. wrong-place.png - this is when I insert the image before moving it. The PNG
starts out too far to the right.
2. wrong-text.png - this is what happens after I drag the PNG to the place I
want it to be - but the word "Signed:" has now jumped to the right.
Expected Results:
I should be able to place the image close to the anchor point but on a z-layer
that is "in front" of the text.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
It doesn't matter whether I anchor it To Character or Paragraph, this behaviour
is the same. There is no permutation of moves and settings I can find which
doesn't have this issue. Thanks for your help and time.
