Image is stuck to page bounds. Shown here - older version but still applies. https://youtu.be/w6Qcl-w7s5c?t=3m18s

Step 1: Drag image - any image you have in your Writer document. Step 2: Try to drag it so it is partially off the page. This fails.
It is not a bug, the bug would be to allow to move an image outside the page. Closing as NotABug. Best regards. JBF

Comment on attachment 117255 [details] Allowing dragging an image partially off the page The idea is not to have the image be completely off the page - then it would not be of any value. The idea is to have it partially off the page, as I show in the image.

Understand the enhancement as it would allow a composition area beyond the document canvas, and that an image or graphic could extend beyond the edges--but would be "cropped" back to the canvas by the Writer page settings. This is already implemented in Draw/Impress, but in Writer, as with many functions, it has a different code base. Suspect the effort needed to implement independently in Writer is not justified--but that it should be a facet of eventual refactoring image/graphics into a common code for use across all the modules.

JBF It is much easier of you can simply drag an image and look at it then move it if desired instead of cropping, moving, removing, re-cropping, etc. I have attached an example showing how this works on two competing products. Just drag and move the image.
Created attachment 117259 [details] open file with image moved partially off page Additional reasoning: if you open a file from the competing product the image is moved and the formatting is altered. See attachment for an example.

Setting to NEEDINFO for code pointers.
Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been in NEEDINFO status with no change for at least 6 months. Please provide the requested information as soon as possible and mark the bug as UNCONFIRMED. Due to regular bug tracker maintenance, if the bug is still in NEEDINFO status with no change in 30 days the QA team will close the bug as INSUFFICIENTDATA due to lack of needed information.

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone! Warm Regards, QA Team MassPing-NeedInfo-Ping-20170328
Not sure what more information is being requested. In competing products you can have an image partially off the page, as is done in many types of documents. Above I show an image of this in a competing product compared to LO where, as far as I know, it cannot be done. Perhaps someone can point me in the direction of what more information would be required for others to confirm this?
I see above where the request for more info is tied to "code pointers" -- I have none. I am not a developer, I am a user of the product. I do not know the code base and have never looked at the code. If I did while I have enough experience where parts might make some sense to me, for the most part it would be completely over my head. Does one need to become a programmer to submit an issue tied to a usability issue?
As in comment 7, valid enhancement -> NEW But, still could use code pointers.
