writer document showing the graphics sizing limit using the mouse and how it can be solved by using the picture menue none

Description matthias007 2007-06-20 11:16:57 UTC 
I have a writer document with external pictures.
When I want to change size I use the mouse and
make them bigger. 

There is a limit to make them as big as the page
itself. 

But it is possible to make the picture bigger
using the percent values for horizontal and
vertical size in the picture dialog. 

It would be more convenient to be able to adjust
the size also with the mouse and not only using
the more time consuming dialog.

I cannot see a problem why this should not be possible.

MRU->OS: a graphic/frame anchored as character cannot be resized to page width
via mouse - but it is possible via dialog / relative values. slightly inconsistent.

unfortunately this problem seems to be still there. Same with LO. Its a pity, because I wrote 15 books - and had to change each picture manually to "als Zeichen", "unten", "Zeichen" and then the mouse sometimes was not able getting the picture to the borders. Why is this still so after all of those many years?

In Bugzilla this is [Bug 149566] Scale picture beyond page boundaries.
