--- Comment #9 from John <[email protected]> ---
This "fault" can always be reproduced by:

1  Open a .odt file containing one image
2  Wait until the image is flushed from memory (Tools > Options > Memory ...)
3  Navigate to the Temp folder defined in Tools > Options > Paths
4  Find the temp folder being used - it will have a name of the form
sv4890tv.tmp
5  When the image is flushed to the folder - it will be a name like
sv48gg75.tmp - delete the temporary file
6  Note how the document still shows the image.
7  Scroll the image off screen.  Scroll back.  Note the image is replaced by
Error Message and frame as in the image posted by the OP. 
8  File > Save.  File > Open.  Note how the error message is gone and there is
no image stored in the .odt file \Pictures folder.

The questions are:

1  Why does Writer use a generally available folder on the PC accessible to any
application for these temporary files?  Surely it would be better to use a
temporary folder in the AOO User Profile where files will be safe from
accidental deletion.  Note that some disk cleaning utilities delete *.* from
the temporary folder, some only delted files aged over 24 hours.

2  What is deleting temporary image files from the "available to anyone on the
PC" temporary folder?  

3  Why does Writer not mark these temporary IMAGE files as WRITE PROTECT or
OPEN IN AOO to prevent them being deleted?
