Description: Optimal wrap behaves oddly (likely because original image size being larger compared to in document size)) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the attached file 2. Select the image 3. Press arrow left Actual Results: Text jumps to the right of the image Expected Results: Distance between image and text reduced Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 7.4.0.0.alpha1+ / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 62531ec1091c7b3f6a3577889a18234790ec716d CPU threads: 8; OS: Mac OS X 12.3.1; UI render: Skia/Metal; VCL: osx Locale: nl-NL (nl_NL.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded

This has something to do with the fact that the image is anchored To Character and uses the options "From left" by 7,69 cm to "Paragraph Area". I agree that it does not behave as I would expect, but these layout options are very awkward indeed. Maybe @Seth can help out with this one, given your recent experience documenting this feature.
Can reproduce the observed behavior, but probably NAB My explanation. 1. Initial state: Image is 7.69cm "from left" of "Entire Paragraph Area". 2. Left arrow: Image is now positioned 7.35 cm "from left" of "Entire Paragraph Area". 3. According to: https://help.libreoffice.org/7.4/en-US/text/swriter/01/05060200.html?DbPAR=WRITER&HID=.uno:WrapIdeal#bm_id3150462 Optimal Wrap: "Automatically wraps text to the left, to the right, or on all four sides of the border frame of the object." When you moved the image "left", it could no longer keep 7.69cm and Optimal Wrap, so it moved the image to where it did not overlap (7.35cm from left of Entire Paragraph Area) If "Through" or "Parallel" wrap is used, for example, then no problem to move with left arrow. Additional tests. 1. Place the image further to the right, then it is possible to use the left arrow, with no jump (until the image gets to a certain place, where it cannot keep the "from left" horizontal positioning). 2. Can reproduce same behavior with "to paragraph" anchoring. These "toy" cases might not be a good way to test this behavior. Better to have an actual positioning task, and see if appropriate positioning options can be chosen.
(In reply to sdc.blanco from comment #4) > Can reproduce the observed behavior, but probably NAB Telesto, what do you think abaout it? And is behaviour still the same in LO 7.6? => NEEDINFO
Just chiming in to say that I can still reproduce this behavior in Version: 24.2.1.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: db4def46b0453cc22e2d0305797cf981b68ef5ac CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: default; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: threaded and Version: 24.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: a2265e8faa099d9652efd12392c2877c2df1d1eb CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: default; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
