Description: if i add an image to a slide which is bigger than the slide window itself, it covers the slide and i have no orientation of the actual slide borders or center. i propose the slide outside borders be transparently visible so users can orient elements Steps to Reproduce: 1. open impress 2. import image bigger than slide and stretch it across 3. user cannot find the actual slide borders making placing elements impossible Actual Results: outside borders of a slide should be made visible, thinly or transparently when any image/object/text is covering border Expected Results: screenshot attached shows the upper left border is completely hidden. this should not happen. user should be able to see the slide border Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 6.4.5.2 Build ID: a726b36747cf2001e06b58ad5db1aa3a9a1872d6 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: kf5; Locale: en-IN (en_IN.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded

Created attachment 163331 [details] impress file showing the hidden border due to large images check the attachment. i created the same using Version: 6.4.5.2 Build ID: a726b36747cf2001e06b58ad5db1aa3a9a1872d6 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: kf5; Locale: en-IN (en_IN.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded The sheet viewport UI which orients elements according to the output size, ala screen size or 4:3 or 16:9 or whatever gets hidden if an image is hiding the corners. this should not happen. the viewport SHOULD be visible regardless of it being visible on the screen or when it is below an image or an element in the edit mode that is.
[Automated Action] NeedInfo-To-Unconfirmed
i see microsoft office and apple keynote solve this by providing guide lines to the nearest corner, could be any corner or two corners when you move the image with the function to snap to nearest corner if put closeby. right now we have to manually keep moving to the edge without knowing full when the image has reached a border. https://youtu.be/tphW6ajNjCI?t=670 an example of how apple keynote solves the image bigger than viewport. note the ears of the cat are transparent signifying this much portion is outside. also note the dotted lines when a corner of an image is moved, it appears to show the line to the nearest corner/angle. the dotted lines are standard across both keynote and powerpoint when moving an image which show the orientation to corners/border
Why you do not crop the image? (right click on the image, the choose Crop) Did you enable grid and ruler in the Impress options? (Menu Tools > Options > LibreOffice Impress) Status has been set to NEEDINFO, please set it back to UNCONFIRMED once requested information has been provided. Best regards. JBF
i have attached another screenshot with grid and ruler enabled. as you can see, the cropped image on the foreground is not a problem. the background image which is put at the back and half outside the viewport is the problem. i have put a yellow dotted line which mimics how other softwares handle such cases where a boundary is hidden behind an image. they show a dotted line to indicate where the image is relative to the corners. the problem is not to have a cropped image but 1. we can have images which i want only a part visible like the screenshot attached with background image. 2. more importantly, if i paste another element on TOP of this image which has the boundary hidden, there is no way to know for the top element where is the boundary. see the second screenshot. the background is hiding two boundaries and the top text box has no orientation where is the top left side of the viewport so how can i arrange them? one option would be to show the boundary when i move the element when it is closer to a boundary even if that boundary is hidden like in this image but that is visible only when an element is clicked or in movement. if the dashed yellow line in first screenshot were visble when the original boundary was hidden somehow, that would solve the problem Version: 7.1.5.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 85f04e9f809797b8199d13c421bd8a2b025d52b5 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.11; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-IN (en_IN); UI: en-US Flatpak Calc: threaded

i have this UI bug where the buttons get hidden and it is causing issues for a long time now, it goes away sometime on its own, then next app open time it goes back. then i have to guess which button is where. just a small side bug i am facing, unrelated to the above bug but just mentioning this here
Agree with the request. The slide border might be hidden during image manipulation (moving around, resizing) but should be shown otherwise to indicate the cut-off.
