Description: I just updated to version 25.2.4.3. I have a 20 page document that has text and images. Now when I insert an image, it destroys the document formatting and removes or hides text. The image is inserted in the place where it belongs and the flow around the image is the default for a libreoffice document. I scale the images after inserting them and they are larger then the finished layout but smaller than the page margins. The only way to recover the text is to back all the way out of image insertion using CTRL-Z, to the place just before the image was inserted. This has never happened in any prior version of Libreoffice. All of the other images placed in the prior version were all done properly. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Opened existing document from prior Libreoffice version. 2.Went to document place where last edited. 3.Inserted Image Actual Results: Went to resume prior document editing place in document (Opened Recent Documents). Went to place in document in document where image should be placed. Clicked Insert Image from toolbar, opened image in PNG format. Image is inserted and text prior to image disappears. Scale image, and reposition; but the text is gone. The only way to recover the text is to CTRL-Z until the image is removed, before image placement. Expected Results: The image is placed, rescaled, and attempt to reposition over the text that should be above it. That text is gone and document format is changed. Moving image does not uncover missing text. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Placed the image under the text, allowed the image to be rescaled under the text, change the text flow to above and below the image. Version: 25.2.4.3 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 33e196637044ead23f5c3226cde09b47731f7e27 CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (10.0 build 26100); UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: threaded After going into safe mode: Going into safe mode identified that side-by-side page display and magnification to over 150% had been activated. Safe mode displayed the pages at 50% magnification, showing the side by side mode was on. I turned off side by side mode in safe mode, and the formatting returned to normal. I inserted the image properly in safe mode and positioned the image and text flow properly. I saved the document and upon returning to the normal mode for Libreoffice, the formatting issues, image placement, and text flow were all displayed and working properly. The version number of the prior update was three releases prior to the current release number, which was the release this document was created under. I don't know if this is corruption in the user profile, and I am submitting this since it did work after the safe mode was started and edited in safe mode.
You bug reporting system would not allow me to set version 25.2.4.3. It gave me a warning that a version had to be selected. It did accept unspecified version. Your web site needs serious work. And you need a feedback selection. I started in this industry 55 years ago, and it would be an embarrassment to release something so poorly documented. And that's why Linux cannot overtake Windows as a user operating system.
So seems a reset profile is needed, use the options in the 'Restart in Safe Mode' menu. Sometimes when updating this happens. First, before reset the profile, look for any option that could be the culprit of the issue.
