Description sasha.libreoffice 2011-05-18 06:13:40 UTC
Created attachment 46861 [details]
Example .docx version 2007

This document contains 4 pictures. In MSOffice 2007 pictures lies in 4 corners of page. In Writer all pictures are in upper left corner.

produced on LibreOffice 3.4 beta 5 on Mandriva 64 bit and Windows Xp 32 bit

PS: MSWord2007 has some weird crop functions. My be add some transformations for pictures with this crop so sat they resemles they look in MSWord 2007.
This specific crop looks not very useful to add in office as functionality. But transformation while importing will be useful.

Comment 2 Jacqueline Rahemipour 2011-06-18 14:29:15 UTC
Confirmed with LibO 3.4.0, Win 7

If the original docx is saved as doc, the result in LibO is minimal better. The crop is ok, but the arrangement of the pictures is also wrong.
Comment 3 sasha.libreoffice 2012-05-02 07:12:31 UTC
in 3.5.3 situation is much better than in 3.3.4, but still incorrect
Comment 4 A (Andy) 2013-05-06 20:17:59 UTC
reproducible with LO 4.0.2.2 (Win7 Home, 64bit), I have compared it with MSO 2007

Result: the pictures are buggy, displaced, wrongly cropped, of one picture only a small border is visible, another picture has a white bar in the middle

Comment 6 Timur 2013-05-16 08:31:34 UTC
I marked Bug 48187 - Wrong image placement in docx as a duplicate of this bug, and suggested Bug 56760 - FILESAVE: docx file save picture position problem be also marked as a duplicate. 
But, even this one may be duplicate of Bug 37002 - DOCX import: Image anchored to page is anchored to character. If you agree, please mark so. 
Looks to me like a good candidate for MAB.
Comment 7 sasha.libreoffice 2013-05-16 12:08:12 UTC
bug 56760 is filesave bug, and here is fileopen, therefore not a dup

Bug 62837 has similar anchoring problem as current bug, but with frames
Bug 35334 also about anchoring problems
Comment 8 retired 2014-01-07 12:37:06 UTC
Confirmed:4.2.0.1:OSX

pictures get mangled rather badly. Bottom left pic missing, top right has a white bar in the middle.

Everthing looks good with Word 2010.
Comment 9 tommy27 2014-02-23 09:30:53 UTC
still present in 4.1.5.3, 4.2.0.4 and recent 4.3master under Win7x64bit
same findings reported by Foss

similar issuse with AOO 4.0.0 as well

this was originally present in OOo 3.3.0 and LibO 3.3.0 as well.
so issue is inherited from OOo.(In reply to comment #3)

> in 3.5.3 situation is much better than in 3.3.4, but still incorrect

yes, things improved during development but as pointed out in comment #8:

> pictures get mangled rather badly. Bottom left pic missing, top right has a
> white bar in the middle.


actully bottom left pic is moved to the bottom right and is hiding the original right bottom image which in almost completely obscured by white rectangle

Now, 3 year later, 3 pictures appear in diff. corners and only 1 missing.. hopefully it will be here also within a year. 
Adding to MAB.

4.4.0.0.alpha0+Build ID: 37b9ea92ba81d74764a2345a9c75c65bfd272d2b

Cropping of the pictures is wrong and one picture has wrong position.
Comment 16 Andrew Ward 2014-11-14 08:25:24 UTC
In LibO 4.3.2.2, when I import a .docx with pictures, each picture is partially obscured by a large white margin at the top of each picture.

Nothing I can do with any of the picture properties will fix it.

If I copy the contents and paste into a new document, it's absolutely fine. The pictures are correct.

If I re-save the original imported document into a new format (eg, .odt), the white margin is still there. So, it's a document property.

I hope this is helpful. My first post so if I've done something wrong, please be gentle.

crop margins of the first 3 images are not smooth as in MS Word
I see a thin rectangular frame around each image beyond crop margins (which I don't see in 4.3.3.2) and the bottom left images fails to show the pentagonal crop mask and is displaced to page 2 of the document.

moreover since LibO 4.2.x reached the end of life.
I'm moving this mab4.2 to mab4.3 list.

compare with previous screenshots.
the pentagonal crop is now visible; that image is still shown in another page and the crop margins of all images are not as smooth as in MS Word but there's an improvement.

restested with LibO 5.3.4.2 and a recent 6.0.0.0 alpha daily build under Win7 x64

now all the 4 pictures are displayed on the same page but there's overlapping of the last 2 pictures (skiing pic and pentagonal picture).

If we open .docx file and save and reopen in MSO 2016, position also changes, as shown on attached comparison.

Example .docx saved in MSO 2016. Real problem with this bug example is this one, because it also opens wrong in LO.

Libo 6.3.4 screenshot

check new screenshot from LibO 6.3.4 (the same applies to 7.0.0 as well)

now the margins of the images are smoother than in 6.1.x but unfortunately the image position are messy with more overlap than before...

compare with attachment 147128 [details]

basically the smoothness of image margins is pretty the same as in MS Word except for the "curly" effect on the ice-skating image.

the main problems are position and overlap of the 4 images

Manually fixed version of the 2016 docx

If I take the comment #29 docx and change the horizontal position of the bottom two pictures from "Paragraph area" to "Left paragraph border" then the horizontal positioning is fixed.

See bug #138782 about this.

Other problems I see and need to be separated:
- the top left images vertical position is -1.13 cm originally, but it is positioned right below the top of the page. 
Writer positions it 1.13 cm in the top margin as written into xml: so we should probably clamp this positioning to the page area too.
- similarly the bottom left images vertical position is 12.76 cm originally, but it is positioned right above the bottom of the page.
Writer positions it a bit in the bottom margin area as written into xml: we should probably clamp this vertical position as well.

- the bottom right images vertical position is 2.25 cm originally, but 0.25 in Writer. Changing this back manually and setting the "Left paragraph border" fixes its horizontal positioning.
Comment 34 Gabor Kelemen (allotropia) 2021-04-30 07:40:45 UTC
Of course... these are not plain images, but drawing shapes with image as area fill.
Plus Parallel wrap + contour setting.

bug #133680 is about images with similar settings.
