Description D Denko 2020-01-07 11:38:36 UTC
Description:
Some images disappear from DOCX files opened in LibreOffice Writer. It concerns both images on the pages and in bubble comments. Example of image dissapearing from a page: if the DOCX file (http://bit.ly/39Lj4v5 - it can be downloaded) is opened in MS Word it has 235 pages with images. If it is opened in LibreOffice Writer it has 234 pages with images. No bubble comment example is provided, but you can try it yourself. Create a DOCX file in MS Word, put some text and a bubble comment to it, paste an image in bubble comment, save file and open in LibreOffice Writer. You will most probably see no images in the bubble comments.

Actual Results:

Thank you for reporting the bug. Unfortunately I cannot reproduce this in

Version: 6.4.0.0.alpha1+ (x86)
Build ID: ec7374ff84c71edfbb30d6e4dc5b486b6df7107f
CPU threads: 2; OS: Windows 6.1 Service Pack 1 Build 7601; UI render: default; VCL: win; 
TinderBox: Win-x86@42, Branch:master, Time: 2019-11-10_21:37:30
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded

But I can see that It takes around 30-40 seconds for the file to open in Writer

Also, no reproduction in

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. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.

The first issue is gone in the latest version of LibreOffice. But the second issue is there: Create a DOCX file in MS Word, put some text on a page and add a bubble comment to the text, paste an image in bubble comment, save file and open the DOCX file in LibreOffice Writer. You will see no image you pasted in the bubble comment.

It looks like LibreOffice Writer does not support images in bubble comments. Should I close the Bug? Because it is not a bug. It is absence of certain functionality.

There's bug 60976 with an enhancement request for that. So I would treat your report as duplicate.
