Open Writer, insert image 2. Insert an image 2. Right-click on image > Properties... > Position and Size, activate "Relative to Entire paragraph area" for width 3. Go to Crop tab, change the width in "Image Size" 4. Back in "Position and Size" tab, see that Relative option is still active 5. Click OK; see image width changed 6. Right-click > Properties... > Position and Size Result: Relative setting off, overwritten. But I think the overarching issue here is how the fields sync inconsistently in the Crop tab (and beyond), since OOo 3.3 times. Currently, changing values in the "Crop" section: - updates the values in the "Image Size" section if "Keep scale" is used; or - updates the values in the "Scale" section if "Keep image size" is used. So far, so good: my logical interpretation of the two bottom sections is "the size of the crop area with different units", i.e. another method to define the cropping area. However, as soon as you touch the values in the "Image Size" or "Scale" sections, the values are not synced anymore with the "Crop" section, and are only used to stretch or shrink the image accordingly. This is unexpected: it goes against the selected "Keep scale / Keep image size" setting, has no effect on cropping, and is a duplication of the "Position and Size" tab. Furthermore, changing those bottom values does not update the preview whatsoever. I think there is too much complexity in this tab, and that we should either: A. improve it by properly syncing the values across sections + making the preview always update, including with the stretching of the image; or B. simplify it by removing the two bottom sections and the "original size" button. (The preview would ideally still need to update for when the image size is preserved, i.e. shrinking / stretching the image) UX team, what are your thoughts?
