Description Lawrence D'Oliveiro 2011-02-28 15:48:46 UTC
Start up LibreOffice Writer. Create a new, empty document. Select "Insert/Frame...". In the dialog that appears, under "Anchor", select "To page". Click OK to create a new, empty frame.

Without doing anything else, click and drag on any edge of the frame to reposition it anywhere on the page away from its original position. The moment you release the mouse, the frame will reappear in a position not quite the same as the one you were dragging it to.

Subsequent drags will leave it in the right place; it's only the initial one that is handled wrongly.

Taking it.
Comment 2 Thomas Arnhold 2013-02-08 12:31:06 UTC
Cédric, this seems to be fixed. Works flawelessly with Version 4.0.0.3 (Build ID: 7545bee9c2a0782548772a21bc84a9dcc583b89) on Windows 7.

I ask the assignee to close this issue per comment 2. Thanks.
Comment 4 Owen Genat (retired) 2013-11-16 04:09:58 UTC
Re-confirming what is stated in comment #2. Under Crunchbang 11 x86_64 running v4.1.3.2 this appears to work as expected.
Comment 5 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2013-11-30 14:54:32 UTC
Bug still reproducible with versions 4.1.5.0.0+ and 4.2.0.0.beta1.
The problem comes from the anchor parameters:

A/ steps to reproduce:
1- open a new empty text document
2- menu Insert > Frame
3- in the dialog choose anchor to page and validate (OK)
4- drag the frame southward
5- release the left button of the mouse
Current behavior: the frame moves northward the height of the top margin.

B/ How to _not_ reproduce: replace step 3- by
3a- in the dialog choose anchor to page
3b- in Position / Vertical choose "Entire page" instead of "Page text area"
3c- validate (OK)

Best regards. JBF
Comment 6 Lawrence D'Oliveiro 2013-11-30 22:33:48 UTC
Thanks, JBF. I am relieved that someone else has finally been able to reproduce this, and clarify something I hadn’t noticed before as well.

Just to add to that, you can also choose to anchor the horizontal position to the page text area instead of the entire page, and now the bug manifests itself in the horizontal direction.

Also I can add multiple frames to the same document, and the bug appears the first time I try to move each frame.
