Image in the header

Attached document has an image in the header and a few lines of text next to it.
When opened in Writer the text gets behind the image making the text unreadable.

As seen in bug 80392, this fixed original 66 pages file MSO 14 attachment 115772 [details] DOCX. 
It didn't fix shorter 3 page reproducer MSO 15 attachment 131068 [details] DOCX.

104254_imageInheaderMinimalc14.docx: comment 6's flle, but at compatibilityMode 14

I'm very surprised that comment 9's patch has not triggered all kinds of regression reports already. I would recommend reverting it, and trying to redo the fix for 7.3.

It is VERY intentional that headers/footers are explicitly excluded from considering wrapping. That should be fairly obvious from the code context. There is already a compat flag to turn on "old behaviour" that allows wrapping in these situations. (for example, see the commit memesage in https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=e4635544b816d1ca27bd1ebba60f51444b0a898e)

It looks like DOCX 2013 did a major reversal in how it handles wrapping in headers. Changing the compatibilityMode from 15 to 14 causes a very different layout in Word - which LibreOffice matched by ignoring the wrapping. So any fix here MUST take into consideration the compatibility level. (P.S. When saving to DOC format, that also ignores the wrapping.)

Comment 15 Justin L 2021-08-04 04:08:22 UTC
Patch reverted since it overturns an old decision to act like MS formats - when the USE_FORMER_TEXT_WRAPPING compat flag was introduced. This affects ALL formats, including ODT, not just DOCX.

Comment 18 Justin L 2021-08-31 11:01:32 UTC
bug 143793 has a lot of comments relevant to this issue.
-LO "native" handling was changed to match MS Word. So do we change again to be compatible with only modern DOCX?
-attachment 174179 [details] UseFormerTextWrapping.odt attempts to show the relevant situations.
Comment 19 Justin L 2021-08-31 11:20:06 UTC
I'd say this depends on bug 143793 being solved first. The two are completely intertwined, and solving one will effectively solve the other, but that report is more generic and broader in scope, and better documented, so best to deal with it first.
Comment 20 Justin L 2021-11-09 17:27:20 UTC
I might consider proposing http://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/124931 for LO 7.4. However, the test documents I'm playing with act strangely and easily enter into either long loading/layout loops or perhaps even loop infinitely. So any changes here can easily throw our horrible layout code into a funk.
Comment 21 Timur 2021-11-09 18:27:47 UTC
Justin, please consider adding to https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Budget2022. 
IIUC, seems like a complex issue that's hardly solvable with single patches. 
I don't know what's accepted, but frequent problems should be there IMO.

patch_104254.diff

Abandoning my proposal, but archiving the suggestion here.

The patch itself is fine, but the layout code in general is too fragile. So it exposes a lot of situations that layout hasn't had to deal with before and so will easily lock up or loop, and I don't have the skills to deal with that kind of fallout.
