This time I was watching what was happening:
I copied something from the web. 
Pasted into a new Writer doc.
Because it keeps links to source for images, I delete the image, then copy the web image and past it into the doc in place of the other.
Then I need to click on the NO WRAP icon in sidebar.
(the default seems to be "Through Wrap")
Then I pull it to where I want it to be.
Writer goes into loop, which it does not come out of.
have to End The Process soffice
May or may not have done an autosave, so I might lose some work.

So, as far as I am concerned this may have been a process issue and not a bug, and can be removed.

Using Linux Mint Cinnamon latest
Version: 6.1.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: 4647057a077824cd6782be82b2d13e06fa76704b
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.13; UI render: default; VCL: gtk2; 
TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@70-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2018-03-13_00:16:40
Locale: en-ZA (en_ZA.UTF-8); Calc: group

Steps:
in a Calc spreadsheet, I insert a picture
it shows fine
I save it
I reopen it
Now the picture is gone and there is only an outline showing where it was 

What should happen:
By default, the insert should be embedded in the doc.
Reason: if I give it to someone else, and they do not have internet connection / the url is not active / they do not have the pic on their disk, it will not show

Hope this helps.

The example I have attached is Calc, but the same thing happens in Writer.

I now added another sheet and again did an insert.

I went to navigator / images / and changed drag mode to insert as copy.

saved. re-opened and see that drag mode has reverted to "insert as link".

Yet, when I insert it the file dialog has a box which you tick to add as hyperlink - this is unticked (see the picture in sheet3)

Apologies this has nothing to do with this issue.
