Report showing the nasty behaviour and ideas how to improve them

I encountered this nasty behaviour in

Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: b3fdd999f87312447d03915585812b3a5cd48141
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

but I am sure to have seen it in earlier versions too.
If I have a text with an image anchored to a paragraph, entering another paragraph mark lets the existing paragraph mark descend and the new paragraph marks go before the picture.

This is really annoying. If I enter a paragraph mark after a picture, I expect the picture (and its paragraph to stay where they were and the inserted paragraph mark should appear downwards after the paragraph.

See attached document which show the unpleasant behaviour with screenshots.

The next step triggered by this nasty behaviour causes the next trouble
=======================================================================

If one corrects it by pushing the picture up by paragraphs, the relative anchoring characteristics gets lost, i.e. if it was centered horizontally and to the top, it will be anchored to the paragraph to which it was moved, but with current anchoring according to the mouse movement. Even if one moves the picture upward vertically (to the best of one’s effort), it does not stay anchored horizontally centered and to the top. 

For the user interface, *I would recommend to maintain the type of anchoring on such a mouse movement if it was to left, right top, bottom or centered if the target position is just another paragraph.* If one really wants to shift the picture to some individual position by a mouse action, one might do so in another step without moving the picture to some *other* paragraph. 

So if during a picture moving with the mouse, the horizontal and the vertical position should be kept frozen if the mouse action moves the picture to some other paragraph mark than the one, to which it was anchored before. During the mouse movement, it should jump to that type of positioning when the amount of movement is large enough to suggest that positioning to another paragraph is meant. If the user changes her mind and reduces the amount of repositioning such that the old paragraph would be the anchor point, the real position according to the mouse movement should be immediately re-established (i.e. freezing be ended).
