Only true for drawing objects (shapes) not bitmaps, that means drag 'n drop of objects from the Gallery works, and only true when the shape is placed in a table. Outside it works too. Would just accept it.
Comment 5 andreas_k 2020-09-08 14:06:42 UTC
I also would accept it.

Comment 8 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2023-02-01 20:12:32 UTC
DM described in Bug 129467 Description an interesting way to restore the functionality:

> If you click the shape and hit the left/right
> arrow keys does not 'nudge' it.
> If you then click in the cell to the right and click back on the shape you
> still can't nudge it.
> If you now drag the shape below outside the table and drag back to where it
> was you still can't nudge it.
> But drag it below outside the table and as an extra click in the
> aforementioned cell (to the right) and drag it back to where it was and
> suddenly it is nudgeable!
> Click to the right cell again and back again and it becomes unnudgeable once
> more.

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


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
