Description:
Hi!
I am not happy with the default workflow provided by LibreOffice Writer when creating a new document. In detail its the default formation of pasted Images.

In the video I want to show you how it is and then comment what I think about this default handling.

Please have look at the Video.

what are my complaints:
when beginning a new document I write down in a not so detailed manner.
what disrupts this quick workflow is the default formating of a new image. Isn't it possible to set "Wrap" for the pictures in a different way by default? For Example "None"?

Also its very distracting having this icon bares come up when selecting a picture and then back to text and vice versa. Couldn't this be done in a more static manner, so the Layout of the UI is less affected?

Steps to Reproduce:
please see video

Actual Results:
when working with images the default workflow feels confusing

Expected Results:
Insert an image and write your text above or below it. If you need it different change "Wrap"


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Also I am wondering why does "Heading 1" change its position in the pulldown menu after being used for the first time. It keeps the user away from haveing a routine while working with it.

Looks like a duplicate of tdf#49992

This was done on purpose and is tracked in bug 156970.

Similar, although that one is for anchor and this is for wrap. But I assume if we give the option for one, we should give the option for the other.

Workaround for this Wrap issue is to change the default Graphics style. See answer in: https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/how-can-i-set-the-default-wrap-mode-for-inserting-images-in-text-in-writer/14615

liszca, can you try changing the default Graphics style in the Styles Sidebar > Frames, and set the Wrap to "None"? Is that sufficient for you?
