Dear LibreOffice, I'm writing to notify you of what I believe may be a glitch (regression) in Writer after the recent upgrades. I use it to make map reading exercises for community college students, but I can no longer stretch my images to more than 5.85in in height when the page is oriented to landscape and the image is anchored as character. I need to be able to stretch many of them more than that. Otherwise, the text in the images is too small to read when printed for class. As far as reproducing the problem, insert an image (so far it doesn't seems to matter what kind of image file) with the page oriented in landscape with 1in margins. Anchor the image as character, and then re-size it to a height greater than 5.85in (so 6.20 or 6.50, for example). It will re-size to 5.85in and can longer be re-sized to a height greater than 5.85in. After fiddling about with it for a bit, the same problem doesn't seem to occur if it is anchored differently. Thanks for your help!
I see this behavior already in 3.5.0, so I guess it can't be a regression? That said, we don't know what version you were using and are using now. Ubuntu 14.10 64-bit LibreOffice 3.5.0rc3 Build ID: 7e68ba2-a744ebf-1f241b7-c506db1-7d53735 Win 7 Pro 64-bit, LibO Version: 4.4.0.3 Build ID: de093506bcdc5fafd9023ee680b8c60e3e0645d7 Locale: fi_FI

The resizing was more flexible in 4.2. The aspect ratio wasn't honored.
Also in LibreOffice 3.3.0 OOO330m19 (Build:6) tag libreoffice-3.3.0.4 There was some more flexibility in 4.2 and older.. but breaks image ratio
