Description David King 2014-01-17 13:11:03 UTC
Problem description: 

Steps to reproduce:
1. create new presentation in Impress
2. insert an image
3. keep first image highlighted and then insert another image

Current behavior: first image is replaced on slide with second image, and second image takes on size and shape of first even if second image is different size and shape

Expected behavior: second image should be inserted onto slide without affecting existing images on the slide

This is very frustrating and time wasting, as I have to keep undoing the insert image and reinsert it to keep both images on the slide.

              
Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 4.1.4.2 release
Comment 1 tommy27 2014-01-18 08:23:08 UTC
the same happens with Writer and other components and is reproducible with any LibO releases and OOo too on Windows as well

but I'm not sure it should be considered a bug....

if you wanna insert a second image you should remove the focus from the first otherwise the software will automatically insert the second image in the same position of the first replacing it.

I udnerstand that it may be frustrating when it happens but I see it more as an accidental user error (you should change focus) rather than a bug.

IMHO this should be labeled as NOTABUG but I wanno hear a second opinion from other QA members, so I set temporarily the status to NEW
Comment 2 David King 2014-01-18 10:49:50 UTC
I just tried it in LibreOffice 3 and it worked okay in 3, i.e. when inserting a second image, with first image selected on slide, the second image was placed onto middle of slide without overwriting/deleting first image.
Comment 3 tommy27 2014-01-18 10:59:12 UTC
you are right... my fault.

if the second image is inserted by Ctrl+C you have image replacement. 
instead if you insert from "file" you have no replacement in LibO 3.3.3 while there's replacement in 4.1.4

so that's a bug and a regression.

to reproduce the bug point 3 is fundamental to use the menu "insert/image/from file" and to keep the focus on first image (you should see the "green handles" around the image)

in the meantime I tested with older LibO releases under Windows.
no bug in 3.6.7. 

bug already present in 4.0.4 and still affecting 4.1.4 and 4.2.1dev

probably the regression happened in 4.0.x development.

please forget about my Comment 1 which was inaccurate. 
the current issue is about Impress... Writer has a different behaviour.

> Note: this changes behavior for Impress, but not for Writer or Calc.

Long time ago, there was a discussion with Matthias Bauer on the behavior in Writer. It was decided that pasting in Writer (e.g. from a copied image in Draw) replaces a possible selected image. Thus keeping settings (position, size, ..) already done. :)
