Description fred.r.green 2021-04-23 20:22:04 UTC
Description:
When a graphic is place with a paragraph in the second column of a 2 column document with Evenly distribute contents to all columns in the Column format, the graphic placement is incorrect.  The graphic appears to be placed as if the Evenly distribute were not selected.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a two column document.
2.Write text so it flows to the second column, but doesn't fill the second column.
3.Select Format, then Columns in the menu.
4.Check Evenly distribute contents to all columns.
5.Place the cursor at the start of a paragraph in the second column.
6.Insert a small picture.

Actual Results:
The picture is placed as if Evenly distribute contents to all columns were not selected.

Expected Results:
The picture is placed at the point where the cursor was.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Format - Columns does not have the Evenly distribute options. It is only available in Insert - Section, in the Columns tab.

Please attach an example document, so we know how you did everything, anchoring etc.

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the document.

This is a document that illustrates the bug.

This is not exactly the same as the screenshot since I had to reproduce the problem.  The flower picture is anchored to the heading below the picture. The page is formatted correctly if you unselect Evenly distribute columns in the Format, Column dialog.

I see, the flower picture should be next to the "New Members Welcome Here!" heading, but instead appears in the previous paragraph.
