Example file from Writer

When a file is drag n dropped from the Windows Explorer to a Writer document, the resulting OLE object displays an icon representing the files type plus its file name.
If the same file is inserted from the OLE dialog, there is no file name only icon in the resulting object. This is inconsistent and makes it difficult to differentiate similar file typed objects.

Steps to reproduce:
    1. Drag and drop a docx file into a new Writer document
    2. Go to Insert – Object – OLE Object, select Create from File
    3. Select the same file and tick the Show as Icon box
    4. Compare the two objects

Actual results:
Object made in the dialog has no file name displayed. Also it has a different icon.

Expected results:
The object made in the dialog should look exactly like the drag n dropped one.

Tested again with

Version: 7.4.3.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 1048a8393ae2eeec98dff31b5c133c5f1d08b890

and with drag and drop it doesn't insert an icon but an OLE-object with content of the original file. So you have more or lesse the same result as Insert -> OLE-Object -> Create from file (without active checkboxes)

Don't know, if this change in behaviour is intended or not. Help page doesn't give information about inserting OLE-Object by drag and drop (perhaps useful to add this information). I add design-team for a check.

DnD creates a section never an icon. Could you please elaborate on the workflow?

No response, resolving ID.
