Description publicface 2019-03-19 17:32:06 UTC
Description:



I insert an image and then I choose to reposition it, but the image won't move.  I try to drag it with the mouse and nothing happens other than selecting it.

Something I've noticed is if I: Right-Click on image >Format Image >Type >Position >Vertical 'from bottom' and there is a 'by' size with a number, in this case 9.12" 'to baseline'.  

I manually set it to zero and that allows me to move the image.  However, after dragging/moving it to another page and letting go of the mouse, it "snaps back" to the original position and that number has been returned to whatever it was before I changed the value, in this case 9.12"


WRAP is set to "optimal" and cannot be changed, the other options are not selectable (None, Before/After, etc.)

ANCHOR is set to "as character".

I have 10 pages with 16 images, most are positioned adequately, but a couple are not.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert several images on different pages (I don't know if this is required to reproduce but it's what I do)
2. Attempt to move images to another existing page.  For example move the image on page 3 to page 1, and page 1 image to page 2.
3.

Actual Results:
Image fails to move at all.  After setting vertical position to zero as previously described and attempting to move the image, it snaps back to its original position and replaces vertical position value of zero with original number.

Expected Results:
Image should be repositioned to new location



Reproducible: Always

Thank you for reporting the bug.
it seems you're using an old version of LibreOffice.
Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice
from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ?
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to
'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
