Created attachment 91783 [details] Sample document (including steps 1+2) Problem description: Images cannot be resized beyond certain limits. For images anchored as character this seems to be an area slightly smaller than the text area (inside page margins). For all other images the maximum size is limited to the page size. This behavior makes it sometimes difficult to resize images appropriately. A workaround is to switch to relative width/height in the image property dialog. Steps to reproduce: 1. New writer document (e.g. A4) 2. Insert image (preferable of a size that requires it to be resized to fit into the page) 3. Open image property dialog, ensure "keep aspect ratio" 4. Optional: Switch anchoring mode to "as character" and see how the height and/or the width changes Current behavior: The maximum width/height are limited (depending on the anchoring mode). It gets slightly worse when switching between absolute/relative values forth/back which usually leads to a wrong aspect ratio. I am surprised that changing the anchoring mode has an impact on the images size in the image property dialog (if it would otherwise hit a limit). Expected behavior: I would have expected, that the values for width and height are not limited by some invisible constraints. Operating System: Windows 8 Version: 4.1.4.2 release
For what I see, on LibO 4.2.0.3 rc on Win7 : - there are limitations in handles movements ("within the page") which constrain image sizes when manipulating graphically - one can swith to A3 (or Web Layout ; or User Page Size up to 3 meters x 3 meters), enlarge an image and return to original page settings : the image shrinks but it may have allowed you to crop precisely - the "crop" tab of image property allows to set width and height, but only up to page size I also dreamt of a world without visible limitations ; I doubdt. To summarize, I found nothing better than : If you need very large images, put it in very large pages... Not a bug. Status kept at UNCONFIRMED to get other opinions.
Tested it in LibreOffice 4.2.5 and could resize the image to full size of the page.
