Description Andras Timar 2017-01-04 15:51:07 UTC

Description:
When I paste multiple images to a Writer document, images are on the top of each other.

Steps to Reproduce:
Select multiple files in file manager, copy them to clipboard, then paste them to a Writer document.


Actual Results:  
Images are on the top of each other. It looks if only the last one was inserted. Users would not find out that there are the others behind the visible one. 

Expected Results:
Expected behaviour is what Word does.



Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
In this case the clipboard contains "list of files", and Writer takes this list. Word anchores inserted pictures "as-char", Writer could do the same. After each insertion and anchoring as-char instead of as-para, the cursor should be moved after the at-char anchor.

Description:
A little more clarity on this one.
 
Steps to reproduce:
1a. Either copy and paste an image with mouse or keyboard
   or
1b. Scan via the Insert/Media/Scan/Request menu
   Then
2. click to the right of image to deselect it.
3. Press 'enter' key.

If user adds empty lines after the point where he/she WILL paste an image, then moves the cursor back up and pastes the image, Writer adds header/footer.

Actual Results:
Cursor instead moves to precede image that was just pasted/scanned.
Subsequent use of 'enter' key moves the cursor down the side of the image until it is below the image.

Expected Results:
That it will work like OpenOffice 3.2.1 and paste images in subsequent pasting/scanning order.

Reproducible:
Always in 5.3.03, 5.3.2, 4.4.3 versions in Win 7/64 WinXP/32, 5.0.3.2 Linux amd64/Linuxmint 17.3KDE

Drag & drop from file manager also does the same thing.
