Created attachment 124248 [details]
docx and html file

The result is displayed in one line
One of the pictures are not cropped.
Comment 1 Terrence Enger 2016-04-21 16:05:05 UTC
I see the reported behaviour on both Windows-vista (32-bit) and Linux.
However, I am not sure it is incorrect, so I am leaving status
UNCONFIRMED.

MSWord 2003 and recent LibreOffice render the attached .docx with the
images overlapping.  It is after I save that as .html and repopen that
the images are no longer overlapped.

I also tried older versions of LibreOffice.  My oldest LibreOffice on
Windows, when I tried to reopen my "saved-as" file, looped for several
minutes before I cancelled the job.  On Linux, 43max bibisect
repository version oldest, when I tried to reopen my "saved-as" file,
looped and the entire desktop was unresponsive; I cancelled
LibreOffice from the console.

Could the loss of cropping be the problem reported in tdf#42038?

libreoffice displayed overlapped in the image.
The generated html version displayed is not overlapped.
Why are there no errors?

Hi vit,

So the image with the red shape in the html output was actually a shape and libreoffice converted it into an image when exporting to html, but yes it didnt retain the position of the shape turned image over the image.

Working on debian-buster in daily Linux dbgutil bibisect repository
version 2018-06-30, the saved .html still renders with two images
side-by-side on one line, so I deem the bug reconfirmed.

Working on debian-buster in bibisect-linux-64-6.4 sha 0d36b327
(committed to the bibisect repo 2019-07-29), the saved .html still
renders with two images side-by-side on one line, so I deem the bug
reconfirmed.
Comment 8 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2021-06-23 07:29:42 UTC
Reproduced with:

Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: e3086b58eb5427d520b86c185f9d911bb6f7a3a0
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@86-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2021-06-21_15:37:11
Calc: threaded

and:

Version: 7.2.0.0.beta1 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: c6974f7afec4cd5195617ae48c6ef9aacfe85ddd
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

Note that exporting to XHTML as an alternative doesn't help: the red shape disappears entirely.

Comment 11 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2023-07-29 22:29:57 UTC
(correction from previous comment)

Already the case in:

Version: 5.4.0.3
Build ID: 92c2794a7c181ba4c1c5053618179937228ed1fb
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk2; 
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); Calc: group

Also reproduced in 7.5.5.2.

Since 7.6, red shape is lost entirely, creating an invalid gif when saving as HTML. This regression is reported in bug 156525.
