That's exactly how I use it. But when I author a document, particularly on a
computer, I often change my mind and start modifying it (to then fix things
like that). IMO, the software shouldn't go in a state it is impossible to get
out of (well ok, I learned in this thread about the navigator, I had never used
that feature before).

Would you expect Vim to display glitches in a file because you folded a part of
code and then added a line before it? I wouldn't (at least, I'd be an
inconvenience).

Yes, that's not what I want but, as said above, I'd like to be able to fix it.
Well, I guess we can use the navigator for that, although I think it may be a
good idea for the image to still display in the page (couldn't it just clip the
image if it is too big for the current page layout?).

I have a long way to go before I can contribute code to LibreOffice (thanks to
all contributors, your work is very appreciated) and don't know if my previous
suggestion about resizing images would be hard to do.

On the other hand, it seems to me that, from a user perspective, if I anchor an
image to a page, set its dimensions to 100% then change the page layout, it
should adapt gracefully. On the other hand, if, as is often my case, the user
also ticked "keep ratio", I guess a decision would need to be made what setting
to honor.
