Two interrelated bugs in Writer 4.0 One) Graphic elements (such as lines, arrows, texts) which I lay over a picture can't be selected or moved when the picture has been cut and re-inserted. Steps to reproduce: - write a text - insert a photograph (drag and drop from Windows Explorer) - anchor it as a character - paint graphic elements (lines, texts) over it, move them around - cut the photograph and re-insert it - try to move the graphic elements again, you won't be able to Even if the elements are in the very foreground and the photograph is in the very background. Two) Graphic elements can't be placed where I want them after an automatic page break. Steps to reproduce similar to the case above. - write a long text - insert a photograph - anchor it as a character (the text must be so long that the photograph finds its place on the next page) - try to place a graphic element (line, text) over the photograph - try to anchor the graphic element You will notice, that it is not possible. I just wanted to draw an arrow to show a detail in this photograph and it did drive me insane. The handling of pictures in Writer has always been a bit rough. That can be improved, I hope. If you have any questions or suggestions, I'm all ears!

I just wanted to draw an arrow to > show a detail in this photograph and it did drive me insane. Could someone maybe explain this in more detail. I'm not seeing any problem myself, but maybe I am understanding it wrong.

I have tried two versions of LibreOffice. Bugs are still there! Old version is 3.5.7.2 Build-ID: 350m1(Build:2) which comes with Xubuntu Linux 12.04. Writer crashes when I try to follow my own instructions to reproduce bug One. Xubuntu has sent a problem report. New version is 5.0.4.2 Build ID: 2b9802c1994aa0b7dc6079e128979269cf95bc78 which I have installed from the debs. I was able to reproduce my bug One precisely. Not sure with bug Two, I can draw an arrow and anchor it as long as it is fresh. But if I click somewhere else and try to click the arrow (it is in the foreground) again, the picture will be selected instead and I cannot edit the arrow without cutting the picture.
