Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 19850
auto size pasted images severely broken
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:22:51 UTC
just a note: inserting images get auto sized to fit onto the page if they don't fit otherwise. this functionality is however severely broken; as is the resize function for which I already filed an issue. As is teh undo function when resizing images for which I havent fioled an issue, resizing and placing the image to "arbitrary" positions then. Or when changing a caption frames spacing to a text: an image got resized when doing so. I'm very fed up with this and if I find the energy wil investigate this further tomorrow. In the mean time: work with inserting (large (20 to 30% of the pages length)) images at paraghraph and page borders to find all connected issues yourselves.
wait : "fed up" : this sounds harsher than it was meant to be (I'm just tired and saying: "no. a resize defect. restart OOo and try to avoid it. again time "lost"); perhaps I should always consult a dictionary first...
there is a terribly shitty arbitrarily suddenly resizing images which rest calmly in the middle of a page when adding a paragraph break somewhere and the undo function doesn't undo this (but the paragraph break) defect present :-(
Ok guys, I've got a documet where you can reproduce the behaviour. You can also reproduce other bugs with this document which you can't reproduce if you try to do it from a fresh document. This document was created with OOo 1.1 RC4 and received content from documents created with OOo 1.1 RC3 and from OOo 1.0.0 via RC3. goto page 20 illustration 6 s caption frame spacing bottom to text is -0.19 when you open the wrap tab of the Frame... dialogue. You can only choose between 0 and -0.19. Now set it to 0 and click OK. Set it to 0 a second time and witness all sorts of weird page "empty paragraphs ge inserted" bugs. After you've set the bottom spacing to 0 once, move the illustration and see it getting auto resized.

Please only use one comment for an issue, unless it is really necessary. in this issue you add 4 comment in one day. it is not good, and can make the QA people confuse.
HI->OD: Strange behavior of the frame on Page 20. Prio changed from P1.
accepted. Issue describes two defects: (1) Incorrect calculation and handling of the wrap distance - negative values aren't sensible and causes confusion and wrong values. (2) Incorrect resizing of a frame containing a graphic.
