Example file from Writer with scaled image

The Calc/Impress/Draw UI does not contain an option to set scaling for an image object, unlike Writer does.
This causes a problem when one sets scaling for an image in Writer, then copy-pastes it into Calc/Impress/Draw and this makes the scaling disappear. 
The same happens with cropping set in Writer too.
Pasting to another Writer document retains these formattings as expected.
For comparison, pasting from Word to Excel/PowerPoint also retains these scaling/cropping settings, so I’d think it’s a realistic user expectation for LO too.

Steps to reproduce:
    1. Open attached document, it contains an image scaled to 32% size in Writer.
    2. Copy it and paste into a new document in Calc/Impress/Draw.

Actual results:
Pasted image is original size and not scaled anymore.

Expected results:
Pasted image should retain scaling settings.

Why is it an enhancement? For me it's a clear bug

Compare scale and crop image in Writer and Impress

It is a bug, that the pasted image looses the crop and scale settings when copy from Writer and paste to Impress. Reason might be, that the image is originally a Writer-Image and as such it has different properties. 

The problem is only in this direction. Copy from Impress and paste in Writer keeps the crop and scale settings, because the image remains a Draw-Image.

In Calc/Draw/Impress scale and crop is in the Crop-dialog. You are comparing with the wrong dialog.
