--- Comment #2 from Frederic Parrenin <[email protected]> ---
Anchoring the image to the page does not work if you insert a large section of
text (e.g., several pages). Then the figure would be out of place.
The current options for figure placement, as far as I have tested, cannot solve
this problem of white spaces. You need a more flexible paragraph anchoring
mechanism: the figure does not have to be directly besides the paragraph, it
just has to be as close as possible while eliminating the white spaces. It is
what is called "floating figures" in latex.
It is a known limitation of LO with respect to latex (I work in the academic
field) and I sincerely hope it will be solved one day.
Some explanation on how it works in latex are given here:

If you need, I can provide a concrete example of such a large text document
with figure to better understand the problem.
If this bug has not been already reported, it is in my opinion not a good idea
to close it.
