Description sdc.blanco 2022-05-01 10:09:08 UTC 
According to a <note> in [1] and [2]: 

      If you anchor an object to a frame with a fixed height, only the "Bottom"
      and "Center" alignment options are available.

Question:

Is this true?  (could not reproduce in 7.4)

If not, then probably this <note> should be removed.

[2] https://help.libreoffice.org/7.4/en-US/text/shared/01/05230100.html

Additional information:

This <note> is the only place in the online help that mentions a "fixed height" frame. 

The Writer Guide 7.3 mentions on p. 127

"The height of a frame that is being linked from is fixed;" 

-- but even when I tried with linked frames and shapes linked to both frames, could not reproduce that note.

Was introduced ever since https://git.libreoffice.org/help/+/4f48bcc7937fbc586af7720d4225768ee6913e2a "#i33146# Initial checkin". Looks like a nonsense to me.

And I wasn't able to repro, even using OOo 1.0.3 and 2.2.0. I don't even know if what I did (disabling autosize) counts as "frame with a fixed height" :)
