Well the description at 'To Character' reads as actually being about 'To Paragraph'. I don't think the documentation/help being really good frame of reference. One of the major problems is the lack of clear specifications what it being desired, from user perspective and technical perspective. Where the technical aspect very important, as images (and anchors) have lots of influence on layout bugs. > Regarding cutting the image i wouldn't treat it as a bug, because there > might be users, who expect the opposit. A core problem is the way I presented the issue. And this is not 'bug' with clear cut current bad, old good. But questioning about the design specifications. (A) It still not clear what the conceptual design considerations (specifications) where at the time of introducing 'To character' anchoring (but that's likely something from the StarOffice day's; My impression is that 'To Character' anchoring being developed as proof of concept design spun out of 'To Paragraph' anchoring (back the day). It stuck at that point ever since. So instead of pre-descripted specifications it started with trying what being possible. A valid approach, but try-out never got to defining how it should be within parameters of possibility's. The position of the image on paste was less of an topic when everything anchored 'To paragraph' (result might be bit 'off', but acceptable), for 'To Character' it becomes kind of arbitrary Author losing interest, other priority's.. whatever.. the development has taken some twist and turns of the years. (B) To Character got promoted to prime time usage in 6.4 (?) because of compatibility reasons, but not across the board, certain object still inserted "To Paragraph". Creating again odd blend of insertion to character/to paragraph. Without a clear goal/vision or any time frame where something gets harmonized. It was pretty much a solo action of developer, trying to solve a problem ad hoc. The free for all approach isn't always that ideal, IMHO. Central coordination does have certain advantages once in a while -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
