The default wrap setting make it impossible to work past the image as shown the latter part of the video. I suggest setting it as "none" to avoid confusion

In general, the app should be more friendly to unexperienced users. You're putting too much settings that only seasoned users understand, such as repeat heading in copied tables and repeat heading inherited from an attached table (https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=168912)

It seems like you're more interested in the fashion of bug reports than fixing the app

It works if you don't select the image. When the image is selected, paste action delete an image. I've tested in Draw and there it works as expected, even when an image is selected, paste action duplicate the line. When I select second image, paste action fill the image's area with blue color line color). 

Danat, please be an adult and avoid the comments as in comment 4

Hi. I'm apologising, I was a bit too harsh

As you can see in the video, pasting not only does not work, but also causes the image to disappear

I understand that there can be workarounds, but the point is convenience. The app should be convenient and intuitive to use

I did not select the image. Does it seem like I do? I just right-clicked on it to paste the line

If I selected the image, it would be covered in blue. As you can see in the video, it is not. So there was no selection anywhere

As you can see in the video, pasting not only does not work, but also causes the image to disappear
 - yes, it' the same as on my computer. 

I understand that there can be workarounds, but the point is convenience. The app should be convenient and intuitive to use
 - that's the reason why I set the bug to New status

I did not select the image. Does it seem like I do? I just right-clicked on it to paste the line
 - I suppose it's the same. When you right click the image, you select it. 

Now I changed zoom level to 100% and after paste action image doesn't disappear, but is changed to blue rectangle. Can you test it with 100% of zoom?

Thank you, but nothing seems to have changed. Do updates arrive automatically to the app?

I tried that with 100% zoom and couldn't notice a difference

Please have a look at this. I think this problem is worth attention, and the app would be a lot better if it was fixed
