Description RichardKirk 2020-11-01 21:10:14 UTC
Description:
Seen on 7.0.2.2 on Mac when inserting a cover image on the first page. If the image was larger than the page less margins, I got the Spinning Beachball of Death. Setting the page borders to zero stopped this happening. Inserting the image then warned that the image was larger than the printable area, which is OK.

I made a 20.5x29cm image in Gimp. A4 is 21x29.7cm.



Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make A4 document with 2cm margins. 
2. Make 20.5cm x 29cm image 
3. Insert image


Actual Results:
Writer hung and needed Force Quit. Repeated quite a few times. Fixed by changing page margins. I could then stretch the image to the actual page boundaries.

Expected Results:
Insert image somehow. Not to hang.



Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Warn, with option to crop the page to the page limits or abort.

Document to demonstrate bug

This is a heavily cut down version of my problem document. It still shows the problem on my machine. Problem image follows. Pasting the image in the first page with 2 cm margins causes the hang. Take out the margins and it is OK.

Hangs pretty reliably on my machine.

Just done a fresh install of 7.0.3,
Flushed out all user preferences.
Test as supplied still hangs my machine.

If I make a new document with the same page style, I can paste the image and there are no problems. So, there is something in the test document that locks things up. I have tried re-applying the default Page Style but this does not clear it.

Unfortunately for me, the ImageCrash scene is a cut down version of a 225-page document.
Comment 8 RichardKirk 2020-11-06 12:52:40 UTC
I have a workaround...

Create a new document.
Select all the contents of the old document.
Copy and paste everything into the new document.
Save.

Pasting image no longer hangs Writer with the new copy.

Not a bug fix but we can probably drop the importance right down.

sw: insert image: set anchor to at-char by default

This changes the default set in commit 4f40bf6a79de6d60da0a5090cdfeda6242e889f0 (sw: insert image: set anchor
to as-char by default, 2019-07-04), to have a better compromise, taking
both Word defaults compatibility and usability into account.

The problem is that users are used to just inserting an image and being
able to drag it to its final location, which is broken with as-char
anchoring.

So default to at-char anchoring, this is still something that is fully
interoperable to Word (unlike the old to-para anchoring), but allows the
easier image move again.

(cherry picked from commit a7528cd6f17ea5c5b29e7d607e54c62de0d9e7db)
