Description Luke 2014-08-19 18:37:18 UTC
Steps to reproduce:

Steps to reproduce the bug:
1. Open attached Chart-Position.docx in LO writer 4.2.x
2. Open Chart-Position.docx in LO writer 4.4.x
3. Open Chart-Position.docx in Word2007/One Drive
4. Compare the documents. 

Expected Results:
In LO the chart should be on the right side of the page, about 1/2 down from the top. 

Actual Results:
In LO 4.2 the chart is on the top right. 
In Lo 4.4 the chart is now on the top left of the page.

I think the LO import filter may be ignoring the paragraph anchor of the chart. If this is fixed, documents like attachment 81686 [details] should import correctly.

Comment 4 Luke 2014-08-23 04:31:37 UTC
The .doc version of the file, attachment 81316 [details] is correctly imported. The .doc importer uses "Anchor To Character", while the .docx importer uses "Anchor As Character". Could this be the source of the problem?
Comment 5 Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2014-08-25 17:04:20 UTC
Confirmed on 4.2.6, 4.3.2 and master on Linux. When opening it in LibO, i see that the page is split into two columns and LibO is putting the chart in the column space as its anchor is set as 'as Character' rather than 'to Character' which is found in the doc file.

The chart OLE doesnt appear in any versions before 4.2.
Comment 6 Luke 2015-05-04 20:12:25 UTC
Adding moggi who's recently made some serious progress on the chart import/export code.

Simpler Single Column example

This example also needs "anchor as" to be changed to "anchor to" to be positioned correctly.

That is not a chart issue. I suppose that is more one for Miklos.

Here is another example

Steps to reproduce in Word:
1. Insert Chart
2. Layout Options -> Any of the "With Text Wrapping" options such as "In front of Text"
3. Save as "Docx" (MS-DOC format works)
4. Open in LO 4.2+ (LO < 4.3 works)

Comment 14 Miklos Vajna 2016-11-11 23:54:29 UTC
I'll take care of this. I fail to see how unconditional as-char anchor is a regression, though -- it was always like this, ever since the 13e8e9e2fe32bc77058b5869c39948b683fb81ec code introduced the chart-in-docx feature.

Shows how pictures get correct to/as settings while charts do not

Miklos,
The regression was purely the position is no longer correct. However, switching from 'as-char' to 'to-char' causes the chart to both move like it behaves in word and to move closer to the correct position. 

If they are unrelated and your fix for this only addresses the position, I'll file an enhancement about the 'to-char' to 'as-char' issue. 

The attached docx shows how pictures use correct settings while charts do not. If I save as .doc, we correctly import this file (both position and to/as setting).

Comment 17 Miklos Vajna 2016-11-15 16:59:44 UTC
No need to file a separate non-regression bug here, I think the above fixes it properly. :-)
Comment 18 Luke 2016-11-16 23:38:42 UTC
 Miklos Vajna,
Thank you for fixing the anchoring type, but the position does not seem to be working yet. If you open attachment 104911 [details] or the simpler attachment 115322 [details] and got to object -> Type -> Position, you can see that the Horizontal and Vertical values are not being pulled in and still set to "0.00". You can see correct position from the screenshot or opening in LO 4.2 or MS Word.

Picture with same anchor/position as attachment 115322 [details] correctly imported.

Miklos,
Either there's a bug setting everything to zero or we're missing some conditions that the image import handles. Should I file a new bug report or you want to track here?
Comment 21 Miklos Vajna 2016-12-07 08:07:37 UTC
Please open a follow-up bug for the non-working case. Thanks!
