Can reproduce with Version: 6.4.0.0.beta1 (x64) Build ID: 4d7e5b0c40ed843384704eca3ce21981d4e98920 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: GL; VCL: win; Locale: en-US (en_DK); UI-Language: en-US Calc: CL Additional information: 1. Workaround (or preferable approach): Insert frame (interactively), right-click on frame-insert caption, in Position field, choose "Start". (friendly warning. If you use frames, and intend to export to .doc/docx, then do not anchor any images or shapes to the frame, but to a paragraph in the frame, see bug #67318 and bug #49184). If you will not export, then no warnings. 2. Reason why initial procedure does not work is: a. textbox is a Shape. b. By inserting a caption to this shape, a frame is introduced that starts at the top of the textbox -- making it impossible for the caption to appear at the top. c. Resizing the textbox or changing its wrap will allow the caption to come to the top. d. But this textbox cannot be anchored to the frame that was created -- so the textbox will/can be moved around the canvas, without the caption following along. (not a good situation). e. Therefore, it is wise to make the frame bigger than than the textbox, then you can anchor it to the frame. 3. Maybe this bug should be described more in terms of the relation between the frame and shape when a caption is added to a shape, because the same "behavior" can also be observed/produced with geometric shapes (including lines), QR codes (in 6.4) -- where resizing the textbox in relation to the frame will allow the caption to come to the top. I will leave the question to more knowledgeable persons about whether this bug report should be adapted to this more fundamental explanation about what happens when captions are added to shapes, or whether I should file a separate report. Thanks for your quick answer, the workaround and the additional informations. I'm not accustomed to post bugs, so if I've got to do something else, do not hesitate to say it ! Option "Above" is seen in LO 4.2, in LO 4.0 just Below was possible. Clearly a bug (confirming with 6.2.8.2), no need for UX input. Dear FD, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone! Warm Regards, QA Team MassPing-UntouchedBug Hello, Tu answer to QA Administrators, the bug is still there whith Libre Office 7.2.5.2. I noticed the result is not the same when you do the action of adding à caption à second time to the same textbox (maybe because the frame around the textbox has already been created). At the second attempt, the place of the caption is good (at the top). Also in Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: aa0cbe2c82bbc2295b51357378a68da0d64a44a0 CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 5.19; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: ro-RO (ro_RO.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded |
