Description: The following UI string, "Scale", is misleading https://translations.documentfoundation.org/translate/libo_ui-master/cuimessages/en/?checksum=c6d485358d8d8fb9 Checking the "Scale" checkbox will change the size settings to percentages, which suggests that the meaning is "Scale the image by these percentages". However, the actual meaning is "Set the size of the image as percentage of total width and height of the page". A better phrasing would be e.g. "As percentage of page size" Steps to Reproduce: In Writer, go to Format -> Page Style -> Area -> Image Actual Results: The string is misleading. Expected Results: The string is more descriptive. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: n/a
I think that the issue is that it was not implemented properly. The documentation[1] currently says: > "Scale: Mark to turn the height and width settings relative to original size." ... which matches your (and my) expectation. See bug 116902, which if fixed would make the feature match the expectation and the documentation. Would you agree to mark your report as a duplicate of that one?

Well, changing the strings would be easier than changing the implementation I guess. But if the implementation should be changed anyway, I guess this counts as duplicate.
[Automated Action] NeedInfo-To-Unconfirmed
UX team, please see attachment 185721 [details] from related bug 116902, for a compilation of examples. The name "Scale" does not fit the current behaviour, nor the documentation. See https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116902#c5 Which one should we do: - rename the feature (and change the documentation) to something like "Relative to container"; or - fix the feature so it matches expectations and documentation. I would go with the second option, as I don't see much use in the current functionality of stretching the image so it fits a fraction (or multiple) of the container's dimensions. I see more of a use in scaling down the size of the original bitmap, keeping the aspect ratio (e.g. 50% × 50%), to then tile with more density. Thoughts?
We should do both, first rename this label and update the documentation and later finish this dialog. Code pointer: cui/uiconfig/ui/imagetabpage.ui The original proposal is here https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2015/12/22/area-fill-options-made-consistent/ but couldn't be implemented for the image part as it is over-simplified and does not cover all options from the past resp. specified in the open document format.
