Description: After inserting an image in LibreOffice Writer and adding borders to it; I copy the now changed image (with borders) and paste it somewhere else (outside Writer) only to find out that the raw image was copied - without the borders. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert an image in Writer 2. Add borders to it 3. Copy the image 4. Paste it outside Writer Actual Results: After pasting the image with borders outside Writer, the pasted image does not contain borders Expected Results: After pasting the image, the image should contain border as well Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Version: 7.1.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: 301b56f92b9058731f76e32604a771cac460693d CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-IN (en_IN); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
The reason is, that "borders" of an image do not exist in Calc, Draw or Impress. The border in Writer does not really belong to the image. If you rotate the image a little bit, then you will see, that the borders remain upright. It would be necessary to convert the "border" to a "line" (technically a "stroke"). The question is whether LibreOffice should do this automatically or on request. And what should happen with the "border" of a rotated image.
