Description miikka.salminen 2013-04-11 14:49:35 UTC
The latest known-working version was some 3.6, can't remember which one.

Problem description:
Captions have disappeared from some of the images in my odt document.

Steps to reproduce:
1. I added images and captions for each image in my document.
2. I saved the document.
3. When I opened the document the next time, I found that captions have disappeared from some of the images I added during the previous time I edited the document, and also from some of the images I have added to the document long time ago.

Current behavior:
Captions disappear from seemingly arbitrary images.

Expected behavior:
Captions don't disappear.
Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 4.0.2.2 release
Comment 1 miikka.salminen 2013-04-11 15:31:36 UTC
I tried moving the images, whose captions were gone, and found out that the missing captions were behind the images. Also, looking at the caption property of either the image or its surrounding frame yielded no caption for the image, even though the text was there - right under the image at the bottom of the surrounding box.

So with a fresh document I cannot confirm with 4.0.1.2 with the given instructions but "save the document" - what format did you save in?

Please attach a document that has this behavior so we can look at the xml data.

Marking as NEEDINFO, once you attach document and answer the question that I posed, mark as UNCONFIRMED and we will look into it. Thanks!

Same problem here.
I am writing a report of 20+ pages and it often happens, I always save in default ODT format but every so often I have to move a picture to make its caption reappear.

But it gets more complicated: as I see a caption missing from one frame, I can also not touch anything and just scroll through the document, and some frames jump from one position to another, sometimes even overlapping, the gets a bit messy with all this moving around, and going back to the missing captions, they somehow reappear and stay where they were supposed to be. All this just by scrolling through the document...

I am using 4.0.3.3 on Ubuntu 13.04 (64 bits).

I'll let you know if I can get a document together where it is reproducible (not comfortable sharing my consultancy report :) ) or if I can add to the bug description.

Hi there

I have tried to reprduce this with 4.1.5 to no avail, so I am not sure if this issue still exists.

Cheers

Comment 9 thanasis57 2015-08-27 16:01:14 UTC
In LibO 5.0.0.5 I confirm this behaviour (see screenshots).

Steps to reproduce:
-Insert image from file
-Insert caption (frame is automatically created).
-Edit caption as needed.
-Re-open file (caption is invisible)
-Click on image and move it around (the caption re-appears)
-After working on the document the caption re-disappears (randomly)

The document I am working on is 700 pages and under publication, so I cannot submit it per se. I can, however, post two screenshots, one before and one after moving the image around.

So this bug was closed as INVALID - please report a new bug and we NEED (absolutely need) a test document. If your current file is confidential - please create a new (simple) test document that demonstrates the issue. Our QA team is small and we can't be responsible for making tens of thousands of test cases...thanks for understanding
Comment 11 thanasis57 2015-08-28 15:47:46 UTC
I absolutely understand and tried to make a test file.

For the moment I could not reproduce it with a test file I created with 5.0.0.5. At the same time I could read the document correctly on 4.3.0.4 (on a Win7 VM), so I have a hunch that this is a regression.

The frustrating thing is that I don't know which aspect of the document creates the problem, as it is quite complex (~700 pages, ~800 footnotes, ~1000 Zotero bibliography entries, numerous cross-references etc). So building a simple document from the bottom up does not reproduce the problem.

If I manage to reproduce it I will most definitely upload the test file. Until then I believe I will downgrade to 4.3 or 4.4.
