Created attachment 162191 [details] Sample of the bug When combining two objects (e.g. two images A and B), the result is the image B connected to A, but the content of B is stretched across A and B (or the content of A stretched across A and B, depending on the selection order.) It also happens when connecting two objects (rendering wrongly) or merging (the same as combining, but I'm not sure about what's expected).
Thank you for reporting the bug. Unfortunately without clear steps to reproduce it, we cannot track down the origin of the problem. Please provide a clearer set of step-by-step instructions on how to reproduce the problem. I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' once the steps are provided
Good evening, sorry for taking too long to answer back. I discovered this bug when I was editing an existing document, but the bug happens for created documents as well. Here's what I did: *Combining 1. Selected two pictures to combine 2. Right clicked on the selected pictures and clicked on Shapes > Combine 3. The result is a single object with one of the pictures stretched across the joined object *Connecting 1. Selected two pictures to connect 2. Right clicked on the selected pictures and clicked on Shapes > Connect 3. The result is an object with one of the pictures looking as if it was twisted or something like that.
All these operations work on path-objects (= polygons and Bézier curves). Other objects are converted to path-objects before the operations are applied. When converting an image to a path-object, you get a rectangular path, where the image is a background fill. These operations build one object from the set of selected objects. The background for the resulting object is taken from that object, which has the lowest z-order. That is, which would be behind all other objects, if the objects would have the same position. LibreOffice is not and will not be a picture processor. For to join two images you might use this workaround: Align the images so that they touch each other. Select them together and export the selection (Checkbox 'Selection'!) to a new picture, e.g. as png-file.
