Comment 1 Maxim Monastirsky 2020-05-09 22:18:58 UTC
The command is there if you place the shape on top of a frame, which is expected. I think the bug is actually with the dialog always showing the "To frame" option, even when not applicable.

Not reproducible in

it says 'to paragraph'.

@Telesto, are the steps correct ? Could you please try with a more recent master build ?

Yes, steps are fine.. this not about the 'current' anchoring.. but about the available anchoring..

Position & Size dialog -> Shows an additional setting: anchor to frame not in
Right click the shape -> Anchor dialog

However, it's probably the other way around (comment 1). It should be visible in Position & Size dialog without a frame being on screen

Comment 5 Maxim Monastirsky 2020-05-11 11:30:26 UTC
Tested this with:

LibreOffice 3.3.0 
OOO330m19 (Build:6)
tag libreoffice-3.3.0.4

The dialog there indeed doesn't have the "To Frame" option when the shape isn't in a frame. Maybe a regression?
Comment 6 Thomas Lendo 2020-09-25 16:45:57 UTC
Can someone please summarize the issue with a clear Summary?

I didn't understand the comments until I tested it by my own.

Main menu Format > Anchor: Showing "To Frame" but greyed outa
Context menu: Not showing "To Frame" as in the Main menu
Position and Size dialog: Showing "To frame" (possible to select)

Is this an issue because the context menu is NOT showing "To frame" or because main menu and position and size dialog ARE showing "To frame"?
Comment 7 Maxim Monastirsky 2020-09-26 22:22:57 UTC
(In reply to Thomas Lendo from comment #6)
The problem is with the dialog only. It should either hide or disable the "to frame" option. The command is correctly disabled in the main menu, and hidden in the context menu (because all disabled commands are hidden in context menus).

Dear Telesto,

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 https://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
