Created attachment 113797 [details] Here I am dragging to re-enlarge the cropped image on the left side. You can see the original image in the back, as well as the dotted rectangle which is too big the crop image function in Draw, Impress is working but its interface while performing the crop is now misleading. How to get see the problem: - Create a new draw document; - import any bitmap image; - click on the crop image tool; larger handles will show up, telling you are in the "crop" mode; - now drag one of the handles placed in the middle of any of your picture edges - while you drag, the preview shows a dotted rectangle that suggests a proportional resizing action, NOT a crop of the image on the side you are dragging. This is misleading and confusing, since you are brought to believe there is something wrong or that you've selected the wrong operation - the result you get when you stop dragging the handle is correct, however. Simply it does nor correspond to what the program was showing you while dragging. - if you have cropped an image, and now drag again to recover some or all of the cropped part, The dotted rectangle suggests that your image will get bigger on all sides, but again this does not really happen and only the side you are dragging will enlarge. So the regression (this did not happen in earlier versions) is not a functional problem, but an interface problem.
confirm this bug the dotted line is really misleading, showing change the image in all directions.
I can confirm this bug in LO 4.4.2.2. Interactive cropping actually crops on all sides (like resizing by keeping the aspect ratio). This is a wrong behavior, because the user wants to crop just one of the sides at time. The bug does not occur when holding the SHIFT-key (in Windows). -> I am almost sure this bug was introduced with the with 4.3 change in proportional image scaling. Hence, I link this bug with 83808
