--- Comment #18 from Gerry <gerry.trep...@googlemail.com> ---
@Joel: Thanks for your comment. However, your advice in comment 17 is highly
problematic for some reasons:
- EPS is the only vector graphics format which is supported on export from many
applications (e.g. statistical software). Inserting them in Libreffice was
always possible without problems.
-All documents which were created with embedded EPS files are useless in LO 4.2
and 4.3. I mean, no one can ask the users to rip off dozens of EPS graphics in
nicely formatted theses/books/articles, somehow export them from LO, convert
them in another piece of software to another format, insert them again in LO
and do all the formatting again.
- Pixel graphics formats like jpg or png are just a quite bad workaround. EPS
as vector format was just perfect for the same document to self-publish(using
LO) and to a publisher (who usually requests EPS for graphics exchange). Hence,
there is currently no real alternative to EPS for many user scenarios (at least
in academia).

Honestly, I don't know what to do, if the last version of the LO 4.2-line
(upcoming 4.2.7) doesn't fix this bug. Currently, I am locked to the EOL
LibreOffice 4.1.x-line, but I cannot always keep an old version of LibreOffice
on the system to properly access my documents...
