Description jsv 2022-01-02 21:28:09 UTC
Description:
Part 1.

1. Create a new Writer document.
2. Click "Insert > Image" and insert the image test2-trade-bill.jpg, which is 244 KB.
3. Save the document, but don't close it.
4. Notice the document size is now 262 KB. Fair enough: 244 KB for the embedded JPG image and the rest for the document itself.

Part 2.

5. Cut the image from the document by pressing Ctrl+X and then save the document.
6. Notice the document size is now 9 KB. Fair enough, since the document is now empty.
7. The most important step: Close the document **and LibreOffice itself**.
8. Open the document again and press Ctrl+V to insert the image you have just cut. Save the document. Notice the document size is now 2 MB. This is because Wirter converted the image to PNG for some reason.

An own problem, unrelated to bug 138981. In this case, LibreOffice itself controls the content of the clipboard after the program exits. There is no native Windows Clipboard format for JPEG; it could possibly be workarounded by a custom format for JPEG, but then the problem doesn't stop, because there should also be an indication which of the *several* raster formats is the original one ... likely not worth the trouble. Anyway, doers decide.
