--- Comment #15 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> ---
Is the problem here that "to Margin" behaves as if it were "to Paragraph text
area"? This is only a bug of documentation, that doesn't clearly explain what
"Margin" in vertical positioning means for "to character" anchoring [1].

Namely, it tells:

> * Margin: Depending on the anchoring type, the object is positioned 
> considering the space between the top margin and the character ("To 
> character" anchoring) ...

The "top margin of what" is not explained here. In fact, the "Margin" in the UI
corresponds to ODF's 'style:vertical-rel="paragraph"' (as opposed to
'style:vertical-rel="paragraph-content"' for "Paragraph text area"; see [2]).
Both "Margin" and "Paragraph text area" mean "relative to paragraph" - just to
different points of the paragraph: for text area, that excludes the paragraph's
borders and padding.

This works as designed, completely correctly as far as I see it. Possibly it
would benefit from the "Margin" being renamed to "Paragraph area" or "Complete
paragraph area" ...
