Description rrosner5 2024-07-25 10:51:49 UTC
Description:
Breaking this out of Bug 150165. If you insert a vector graphic that doesn't have a background spanning the whole area of the graphic, you can only grab the graphic for dragging it around at a place where there is "content". If you have e.g. some technical drawings or similar, this can result in large parts of the graphic's surface can actually not be used to select that object. And especially if you have very thin lines, it's very difficult to find a spot where you can actually grab the graphic, making any changes to it very difficult and tedious.

This is an issue in Impress and Draw, but not in Writer. There, you can just select any point inside the area of the graphic, and a gray boarder is drawn around the area.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. insert vector image lacking a background surface
2. try to select it

Actual Results:
see above 

Expected Results:
see above


Reproducible: Always
