Description Aditya Sahu 2020-08-11 11:42:14 UTC
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

Comment 1 Regina Henschel 2020-08-11 22:45:38 UTC
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.

Design team might consider this

Without a clear use case / scenario I don't see need to make Writer an editor for raster graphics. No need to automatically convert attributes. => WF
