However since there is only one SdrPage for the entire document, a drawing object dangleing off the bottom of one page will be painted again on the next page, which is clearly undesirable since Word doesn't do that (and it also destroys the nice invariant that a fly on page N never overlaps a fly on page N+1).

Dear Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired), 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 http://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://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/irc.freenode.net/#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Not sure how often this setting is set, but quite frustrating issue. And being around long enough.

marking as low/minor. This is an ODF-only feature. If FollowTextFlow doesn't produce the effect you want, then don't turn it on. In fact, nobody should be using FollowTextFlow anyway IMHO. Its purpose is to support DOC/X formats (where it only applies to table cells). Based on mstahl's comment, FTF should force the shape up instead of down.
The code for this is in SwToContentAnchoredObjectPosition::CalcPosition() where GetLeaf() tries to position onto the following page. But simply eliminating that block of code would not be enough, because nothing is forcing the bottom to fit the boundaries. So instead of allowing the object to flow to the next page, we would need to shift it up to fit onto the same page as the start of the anchor paragraph. (I could imagine a layout loop where raising the shape to be above the body text bottom could force the anchor paragraph to start on the next page...) But IMHO, FollowTextFlow should primarily be considered to be a UI helper, and less so to be a mechanism that ignores the provided settings and does whatever it wants with the object positioning.
