Description petr_aleksandrov 2014-01-20 19:18:01 UTC
Created attachment 92481 [details]
An archive with an example.

Problem description: 
There is a document with many images with captions (in frames). When I add this document to a master document, images are overlapped.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the attached master document.
2. In the message box with "Would you like to change the document, and update all links ..." press "Yes".

Current behavior:
The 3rd and the 6th images will overlap another pictures. In the document "Pictures.odt" they don't overlap.

Expected behavior:
The images in master document are placed as in "Pictures.odt".
              
Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 4.1.4.2 release
Comment 1 petr_aleksandrov 2014-01-20 19:20:31 UTC
Libreoffice 4.2.0.2 and Apache Openoffice 4.0.1 behave in the same way.

Dear Petr,

I can confirm that the import of pictures.odt into the master file isnt preserving the layout present in pictures.odt in 3.3.0, 4.2.5, and 4.3.1 on Linux Mint.

The simple solution to solve your issue is to add page breaks (ctrl+enter) at the end of each page in pictures.odt and then it will import correctly into the master document.

Still reproducible.

In addition, Pictures.odt looks also buggy. In LibO 3.3.0 it's OK.

Comment 10 Thomas Lendo 2019-09-22 20:13:10 UTC
Same as in comment 8.
Master document and subdocument both looks wrong.
So it's no master document bug anymore but an image problem?
Comment 11 Buovjaga 2021-05-05 10:12:46 UTC
Yep, not a master doc issue. Still confirmed with Pictures.odt

Dear petr_aleksandrov,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
