Bug ID: 159562
Summary: Image properties are inconsistently selectable
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.4.1 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Opening the image properties dialog for an inserted external image (key F4) is
often misleading with settings.
a. When selecting the main position and dimensioning tab, values entered can
give unexpected results: entering a percentage (without a "relative" flag set)
instead of a dimension produces a strange effect. As an example, with a 3.86 cm
wide image, entering "50%" results in a 21.0 cm wide image
b. The results in the cropping tab are completely astray from what the "keep
proportions"/"keep dimensions" selection suggests: Even with "keep proportions"
flagged, the width/height percentages/dimensions can be set to any
non-proportional value. Even worse if you "substitute" an image (from the
contextual menu with a right-click on the image), as it retains the old
percentages.
c. Different proportions on imported vectorial images, containing an unknown
font, may even result in a catastrophic final effect on screen rendered image
(text doesn't scale proportionally in the two directions, with unexpected
overflows)
Steps to Reproduce:
1. I created a simple diagram with yED and exported it to SVG; this tests the
unknown fonts, as it forcibly uses "Dialog", which isn't present on my system
2. Import the SVG image
3. Select the image and open it with F4 image settings
4. Fiddle with settings as described above
Actual Results:
An unexpected percentage entered produces a weird change in dimensions.
There's no automatic proportional resize in percentage.
Unproportional resizing fails to render correctly fonts in vectorial images.
Expected Results:
If a percentage has no clear meaning in a field value, then it should be
unacceptable as a value or have a clearer effect (e.g. affecting the dimension
itself).
Proportional resize could result in a proportional resize, that would make
sense.
Font resizing in vectorial images should follow the proportion of the rest of
the image.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
