Created attachment 180446 [details] Minimal test file to demonstrate positioning in a paragraph across two pages Attachment has a paragraph that extends over two pages. The first page has an image that is: (a) anchored "to paragraph" and (b) positioned with Vertical: Bottom to "Margin" (now "Entire paragraph area"). Actual: Positioned at bottom margin of first page. Expected: Positioned at bottom of paragraph (on second page). (similarly, an image anchored to the same paragraph, but now on the second page, necessarily with a "to character" anchor and using Vertical: Top to "Margin" will only position at top of page text area, not top of paragraph)
Sending to NeedsUXEval -- mostly because this behavior violates the design of the Position dialog for objects. If this is considered NAB or WF, then perhaps a sentence is needed in a help page that says (something like): "Positioning in paragraphs that extend over two pages is limited to the part of the paragraph in the page where the anchor is located." (this would cover both the "to paragraph" and "to character" anchors)
(In reply to sdc.blanco from comment #1) I confirm it with Version: 7.3.4.1 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 13668373362b52f6e3ebcaaecb031bd59a3ac66b CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL > "Positioning in paragraphs that extend over two pages is limited to the part > of the paragraph in the page where the anchor is located." Or: "Anchor and it's image or object needs to be on the same page" (or soemthing like that)
Effect is already reproducible with OOo 3.2.0 (Portable on WIN).
I think the implementation is what users intuitively expect. So yes to WF and making it a documentation topic. Objection, Mike?
A *bit* related: tdf#89082. But this one is indeed OK to WF; the current behavior should be unchanged - at least for now. My proposal (just for the sake of making the choice harder ;-P): "position on paragraph's bottom margin (on first page, if paragraph spans several pages)", or the like. (I think that wording in comment 1 and comment 2 are OK)
Additional complications - also applies to columns (summary changed), and is only relevant when paragraph-specific positioning options are selected. Here is a proposal for the text. ¨When a paragraph is used for positioning and the paragraph extends over more than one page or column, then positioning options that refer to a *paragraph area* or *paragraph text area* are applied only to the portion of the paragraph in the page or column where the anchor is located."
