Description Steve Garry 2022-12-08 18:32:34 UTC
Description:
Received a docx file via E-mail, and saved a copy of that file to local storage. Opened it for edit, and made changes, but after inserting an image (17Kb JPG file), it is no longer possible to make further changes to the document, the cursor cannot be found. The document can be saved, but this is not an issue I have seen with previous versions, I was adding a signature image to a file, which I have been doing for many years with no issues. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open .odt file
2.insert image jpg file on page 3 at signature position
3.

Actual Results:
on changing format of JPG to allow correct placement, and changing format to allow text to surround image, no further editing of document can be performed, the cursor is lost. Other tool bar functions still operate. 

Expected Results:
image is inserted, then set to have correct formatting and then editing continues. 


Reproducible: Always

I don't think, it is a bug. I had a look at the document. You have a page header with an image (Picture 4). Since this image covers the whole page, it is very difficult to get access to the text (and the cursor), because you always select that image, if you click inside this image.

Solution:
1. Select image in the header
2. Open properties and crop tab
3. Crop 15,75cm on the right and press OK.

Does this solve your problem?
