Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 15922
strange behaviour when dropping pictures on Writer window
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:35:02 UTC
I dropped about 20 digital photos from a folder onto the Writer window, expecting them to be inserted each below the other. But somehow they are all inserted on page 1, in the same place. If you try to scroll the page then Writer tries to update the screen by showing parts of all pictures after another. If you try it for yourself you will see what I mean.
I took a group of pictures holding the shift key down while selecting them, then moved them as a group over to Writer, and observed the odd behavior mentioned when scrolling in Writer.
I'm going to mark this as new since I can confirm the behavior. It does look odd, but it possibly may be marked as an enhancement request depening on what the general opinion is.
It's not defect. Writer is not optimized for such handling.
Did you try it? The way it displays the pictures is definitely not "normal behaviour". You may be able to work around it, and it does not make the program unusable, but I don't agree with not calling it a defect!
