--- Comment #4 from Richard Neill <freedesk...@richardneill.org> ---
Thanks for your help in comment #3 - that's really helpful.

Yes, you're right, that setting "Wrap = Through" (in the context menu) does
what I want. But I still contend that there's a significant usability bug here.

1. The default option ("Wrap = Optimal") does the wrong (imho) thing.

2. The correct option ("Wrap = Through") doesn't persist if I insert another
image. Not even in the same document, let alone as a preference.

3. The Arrange => Bring to Front option does nothing.

4. This "wrap = through" option is, I think, rather non-intuitive and
non-discoverable. I say this as a LibreOffice user since 1997, and a
professional software engineer who had never known about this till today. If I
missed this, it's a fair chance that most newer users have also missed it.

Consider: 
I'm not trying to "wrap the text around the image", I'm trying to "paste the
image on top of (not into) of the text, without the text jumping around".

Might I suggest two possible resolutions:

(i)  set Wrap = Through as the default, or
(ii) change the context menu from "Wrap" to "Wrap text/image"

the latter will at least make the behaviour more discoverable.

Thanks - Richard
