1. Tools - Options - LibreOffice Writer - Compatibility 2. Select option "Consider wrapping styles when positioning objects" Two issues here. 1. According to help [1], it seems like it the the preferred option is to have this option ON (i.e., box is checked). Afaict, the default for this option is OFF. Is the help wrong? or maybe the default should be changed? 2. If I understand the idea here, then it seems better to change the label for this option to "Use OpenOffice 1.1 wrapping style to position objects" I think this might require a change in the backend so that when it is selected (ON), then the "old 1.1" behavior is used. This proposed change would then make the label/function consistent with the other "Use OpenOffice 1.1 ..." options, and would not require a change in the default setting.

Miklos, please verify that switching on this option means the "iterative process" (old way) becomes "straightforward" (new and MSO compatible) (what a pointless documentation!).
This is the ConsiderTextWrapOnObjPos setting, http://www.openoffice.org/specs/writer/compatibility/obj-pos-without-wrapping.sxw has some details on it. I can confirm that currently we disable this for new documents, disable this for old ODT docs and enable it for Word formats. Unless Michael S can recall some reason for the current default for new documents, changing the default for new documents to "true" sounds reasonable to me, not objecting. This would be consistent with a number of similar compat flags (e.g. AddParaSpacingToTableCells) that are off for old ODT docs, but are enabled elsewhere.
(In reply to Miklos Vajna from comment #2) > Unless Michael S can recall some reason... Apparently not, let's do it. Easy hack, Hossein?

Setting it "on" should be easy: change "false" to true" at: https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/officecfg/registry/schema/org/openoffice/Office/Compatibility.xcs?r=645852b4#99 2. Even better would be: 1. Leave the setting false. 2. Change the backend so that "true" means that the "old" style is used. 3. Change command label to: "Use OpenOffice.org 1.1 for object positioning" Reason: This would then make this command consistent (UI gold standard) in behavior and labeling with all the other "Use OpenOffice.org 1.1 ..." options in this dialog. See: https://help.libreoffice.org/24.2/en-US/text/shared/optionen/01041000.html This "better" version might still be an easy hack.
Dear sdc.blanco, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!
