Hello Kevin,

Thank you for reporting the bug.
I'm having some trouble reproducing this bug; can you please provide clear steps on how exactly you're setting your image for the document and/or a sample document with any sensitive information removed? (Please note that the attachment will be public; remove any sensitive information before attaching it. 
See <https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/FAQ#sanitize> for help on how to do so.)

I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' once the steps are provided.
