Description Jorge E Restrepo 2023-08-15 23:08:57 UTC
Description:
When uses the border padding for an image to create a space between the image and the text, the image gets shrinked and the text remains in the same.  The padding should be as follows:  Leave the image size intact, and move the text 2, 4, 6... pixels away.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert an image into a document.  
2. Make it 3" wide and place on the left side of the page
3. Roght-Click >> Wrap as Optimal
4. Right Click >> Properties
5. Select Borders Tab
6. Use 10 pixels for space betw image and text

Actual Results:
You will notice that the image gets shrunk partially losing the proportions and the text starts in the same location of the original image boundary. 

Expected Results:
Leave image intact and add space between image and text


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
The correct way would be to leave the correct size of the image and add a space between the image and the text.

It is so by design

Padding
Specify the amount of space that you want to leave between the border and the contents of the selection.
"
To do as you like, change both the size of the frame where the image is in and the padding.

Also in the [Wrap] tab of frame properties, there are 'Spacing' options, depending on how the frame is anchored and wrapped in the text.

At much could be a request for enhancement not a bug.

Not sure about whether this is an accepted enhancement or not. Some patches have been submitted on the duplicate ticket.
