Description Nicolas Christener 2019-10-08 12:36:54 UTC
Description:
Inserting an image into a writer document on iOS sets the anchor behavior of the image to "as character". 

This makes it not possible to freely move the image with the finger on the page.

In MSO (on iOS) the default behavior is:
* Anchor "to character"
* Wrap "none"

I believe we should change the default to the MSO behavior.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert an image into a writer document on iOS
2. Try to freely move the image with a finger

Actual Results:
The image can only be move upwards and downwars (unless one changes the anchor - which is not intuitive and quite hidden below multiple levels of dialogs).

Expected Results:
A user should be able to freely move the image with the finger.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
This is a suggestion from the POV of a novice user. Maybe there are reasons why we don't want to change this.

As far as I know, LibreOffice changed the default behaviour in newer versions as well. AFAIK the iOS app is base on 6.0 and therefore doesn't have this change.

In 6.3.x on my desktop LibreOffice behaves as MSO as well (IIUC).

LibreOffice 6.3.1 has the following default (it seems):
* Anchor "to paragraph"
* Wrap "optimal page wrap"

Moving to NEW as agreed in the ESC meeting

Is the default different in Word on Windows, BTW? Asking because as far as I see, the anchoring default was changed recently (also in the cp-6.0 branch) in order to make it the same as in Word (on Windows).

Comment 7 Nicolas Christener 2019-10-18 18:51:27 UTC
Implementd. I tested with 4.1.67 and I can now move images freely after inserting it :)

I think this issue can be closed.

Thanks a lot to the Collabora team and especially Tor for implementing this feature!
