Description pmartel60 2003-08-06 12:53:57 UTC
Writer's Contour text wrapping feature has an undocumented and ugly side
effect of using the ontour polygon that is supposed to control text wrapping
as a mask for the display of the graphic. Not an issue for white backgrounds, 
but often visually jarring for colored backgrounds, photos, etc.

This was first uncovered in the investigation of Issue 17474 which 
will now strictly focus on a related but distinct .doc import issue.

HI->AMA: Nearly the same like 17474 but with a little difference. See
the attachment.
Comment 3 andreas.martens 2003-08-07 17:44:33 UTC
We use the polygon for text wrapping as well as for clipping of the
graphic. This makes sense in many cases. In the example you don't want
it. The solution will be a property which can be set at the graphic.

I consider this a bug! If I want to have a wrap around a graphic the 
way we offer it I just cut the graphic to the right shape.
But what I expect is that the text will run OVER the graphic!

Clipping or not clipping?
Comment 6 andreas.martens 2003-10-02 11:46:09 UTC
No, it's no bug. We've inserted a few lines of code to clip the
graphic because sometimes it's very useful. See my last attachment. I
inserted a rose with contour wrapping and of course I don't want to
see the (clipped) background of the rose. Normally I don't want to
have text above a graphic. But if you really need it, you have a
workaround, see my attachment and have a look at the blue circle ;-)
So sometimes we want the clipping, sometimes not, we'll need it for
our own older documents but we don't want it for Word import.
The solution: we need a property which decides if the graphic will
clipped or not during the contour wrapping.

I don't have the resources to implement this feature for 2.0.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
