The right sidebar in Impress has a section "Position and Size". When selecting an image or rectangle and moving it partly out of the bounds of a slide, the "Horizontal" and "Vertical" fields display still 0.0 as position of that object, as if the object's origin would at the upper left corner of the slide. This is inconsistent, since an object can (not) have different positions with same horizontal/vertical offset. LibreOffice: Version: 4.3.1.0.0+ Build ID: 764fdb983d2fd0e24f56db987eba307ae5ae6eea Ubuntu 14.04 AMD64
Confirmed with LO 4.3.1.1 and 4.2.6.2 under Ubuntu 12.04 x86 AOO 4.1.0 behaves as expected: shows negative values.

The "Position and Size" values now indeed show negative horizontal and vertical values when the shape is put out of the page. (Windows 8.1, 4.5.0.0.alpha0+)
