Created attachment 191672 [details] One page with two images where one can't be cropped There are two images in the attached document. One image has a transparent background and the other doesn't. The one with the transparent background can't be cropped.
Hmm, someone pointed out that the images that can't be cropped are not images at all but drawing objects. I didn't create the original document, so I'm not sure what the difference is between the first image and the second image. So I actually don't know if this is a bug or not. I won't touch the status and I'll let someone else determine whether it should be discarded or not.
You can see with the navigator [F5] or looking for it in the sidebar, there are one image and two drawing objects. I don't know how those photographs ends as draw objects. Two options to make available crop: Cut + Paste special as GDI Cut + Paste in a new Draw file.

Alternateve approach for examination: Do rightclick on the picture elements. Context menus for Drawing Elements are completely different from Context Menus to Pictures like .png. See Attachment with comparison. Currently I can not see a LibO Bug.
(In reply to m.a.riosv from comment #2) > I don't know how those photographs ends as draw objects. See bug 107843. Cross paste from Draw/Impress to writer. The lack of crop is handled mentioned bug 107843 comment 3 This is a duplicate of bug 107843, IMHO
But in any case, if the reporter could confirm how these objects arrived at writer, it could help to know if it is indeed the duplicate commented.
HI, I can't confirm how they were created. However, this discussion might shed some light: https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/writer-unable-to-crop-an-image/100047/7 In particular this comment: I had a quick look using Word and Writer. It seems if Soft Edges is applied in Word then it creates some sort of wrapper for the picture. Writer can recognise that it has soft edges and applies them, although with 5pt not the original 8.84pt. What Writer seems unable to do is to unwrap and extract the image. If I set Soft Edges to No soft edges (not 0pt radius which leaves the wrapper) in Word, then Writer can crop, and the image is just a normal jpg. Uncroppable image100047 - Word-NoSoft.docx (398.1 KB) It looks like an incomplete interpretation in the import filter. Can you please report a bug
