Description Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2015-03-17 19:23:04 UTC
Steps:
1) Open Writer
2) Insert an image
3) Resize the image so its not taking up the entire width of the page
4) Format > Image...
5) Set a border
6) Notice that rather than putting a border and spacing between the image and border, the image is shrunk to accomodate the border and spacing within the area of the image.

Reproducible with LO 4.4.1.2, Win 8.1

Thanks Andy for noticing that it submitted it twice. Bugzilla has been acting up lately.
Comment 4 Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2015-04-17 10:17:01 UTC
So it seem this not only affects images, it also affects OLE objects like charts, and it also effects compatibility.

sample docx

Attached is an example docx file, which when opened in LO results in the image being cropped to give place to the borders.

imagePadding.odt - image with border and padding

This is not inherited from OOo, but is a regression between 3.6 and 4.0 somewhere between

Hi Justin,

Your fix fixes the regression introduced in 4.0 relative to your attachment 128498 [details], but doesnt resolve the OOo inherited issue mentioned in the description or in attachment 114855 [details].

ImageBorder.doc: 2page MSO2003 doc testing image with border spacing

It appears that Writer's scale-down-the-image-to-add-a-border is different from MSWord, which enlarges-the-frame-to-accommodate-the-border. (This test document drops down to one page in Word when the border is removed, but Writer just scales up the image to fill the empty space.)  This doesn't seem to affect interoperability - both open the saved document identically. The patch in comment 9 addresses the cropping issue (where the image is cut off by the border) but not the avoid-scaling enhancement requested in the description.

Removing myself from the bug along with any indicators that the bug has been fixed.

The problem is, that the image is imported as Writer-image, but it needs to be a Draw-image for to get the same "border" as in docx. In fact it is not a border but a line.
Comment 17 Regina Henschel 2018-05-26 13:08:54 UTC
The error exists too, if a border is added to an Writer-image. With the current implementation, the size would need to be increased by the 2 x border width.
Comment 18 Heiko Tietze 2018-12-20 16:07:52 UTC
I vote for WFM since adding a border to the outer space changes the text flow.
Comment 19 Aron Budea 2018-12-20 16:34:47 UTC
Would adding a setting whether to add the border inside, outside or centered be a reasonable compromise?
Comment 20 Xisco Faulí 2019-01-11 20:36:10 UTC
Lowering importance: Highest + Inherit from OOo doesn't make much sense at this point anymore...
