Bug ID: 93924
Summary: Scaling of images in Impress is too clever by heart
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.0.1.2 release
Hardware: Other
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Impress

Basic Impress to add an image, and change the layout: image is rescaled and
moved
When I use a very basic presentation (like the attachment), and I insert an
image (Insert->Image) and scale it (e.g. to be 8cm x 8cm), that's all fine.
When I then modify the Layout (clicking a predefined layout, e.g.) that image
snaps into whichever textbox this layout has. Not only does it snap, it also
auto-magnifies to fill that text box.
Then I tried to modify the size again, and again the textbox goes with it. Then
I add text into the textbox, and the image is in the way ...
Whatever. I think someone wanted to follow the mostly stupid 'clever stuff'
piled up by the main competitor, and ended up at being constantly in the way of
proper working.
No workaround possible, but to remove all images. I even tried to drag the
images totally off the slide, on the workbench. And yet, some layout
modification auto-snaps all images back into the slide, and auto-scales them to
completely fill the available content boxes.
I cannot imagine any other use than when I want to show photos: dump them on a
slide, anywhere, and then chose the layout (e.g. 2x2), and - beng - there they
are arranged and scaled.
The problem is, that I do never use Impress for the purpose of a photo booklet.
At least it should be modified in a way that when I have touched an image, it
is considered to stay in that position and that size; irrespective of layout
changes.
