Created attachment 177012 [details] Example file from Calc with image, mp3 media, shape This is a followup to bug 146236. Clicking on an image or media file in Calc or an image in Impress/Draw shows the Columns section in the sidebar. Columns work only for drawing shapes, so we should not show them in images/media files.

Note that unlike in Writer, typing when an image is selected does add text to images in Draw. So does it actually make sense to remove the panel there? If it doesn't work correctly, it's a different thing?

What I see is that turning it on after typing multiple lines of text the beginning of the text gets positioned outside of the image area and disappears, but turning it off makes it visible again. That's something different, let's keep this one focused on the media file part. Patch updated accordingly.
