This enhancement is the counterpart to bug 71669, which changed the default behaviour under Writer v4.3 from: - Hold down SHIFT to rescale image proportionally. ... to: - Hold down SHIFT to rescale image non-proportionally. It would be good to have consistent UI behaviour for this type of action across ALL components that can accept image insertion. Currently the behaviour described above is reversed in Calc, Impress, and Draw. Related Ask thread: http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/39676/
+1 overdue. Was curious why it wasn't in all components initially. But guess that's due to time constraints. Please do make this behavior universal to deliver consistency and good defaults in all components. Thx. NEW
+1, seems it was a partial implementation,request wasn't only for writer. Now, the same key combination doing the opposite along different components. As a minimum not too friendly.

Calc part is still missing.

Thanks a lot Samuel. Important fix.
Thanks from me also Samuel. As soon as it hits the deb x86_64 daily I will test to confirm.
Verified on OS X 10.9.5 for Draw, Presentation, Calc.
This bug fix comes with LibreOffice 4.4 (release notes https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.4) Images are now scaled proportionally by default in Calc and Impress/Draw as they were already in Writer.
I believe this feature had the unintended side-effect of also constraining image drag movement by default. I've reported that behavior in bug 88339. This forces all image drag movement to be constrained to horizontal, vertical, or diagonal axes by default. Holding shift while dragging now overrides the constraint and allows you to place the image where you want. I don't think this is the intended behavior.
As the release is going to happen the next days please assure that everybody is happy with that bug fix
(In reply to Mike §chinagl from comment #11) > As the release is going to happen the next days please assure that everybody > is happy with that bug fix There are two patches in that image move bug fix: one for draw/impress, and one for calc. I'm only waiting on the very last patch to go through review. Currently, the patches for bug 88339 are merged with the following versions: master: calc: reviewed/merged draw: reviewed/merged libreoffice-4-4 (LibreOffice 4.4.1+) calc: reviewed/merged draw: reviewed/merged libreoffice-4-4-0 calc: reviewed/merged draw: waiting for review So, if 4.4.0 is released the way things are, the bug will be half fixed. Calc/writer's image movement will be fixed, but draw/impress will be broken. If it helps, the patch in question is a 1-liner. https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/14078/
I don't understand how this patch was approved. It is completely unacceptable. Please see my comments on bug 153919.
