--- Comment #21 from Callegar <[email protected]> ---
This is not happening just on X11, but also on Wayland.

I had an old presentation that I recently reopened on a new laptop using
Wayland. This new machine has a 3k display and uses fractional scaling at 150%.
All cropped images where wrong: both distorted and cropped incorrectly.

Once fixed the presentation, I got it back on the original machine, also
Wayland, but full-HD with scaling at 100% and the cropped images again were all
wrong: both distorted and cropped incorrectly.

Looks like it is impossible to use cropping across machines with different
display settings. If you make them look right on a machine, then they are wrong
on the other.

This bug substantially makes cropping a feature to avoid, because it cannot be
used reliably. In doubt, one should always crop the image with an external
editor, and use the pre-cropped image in LibO.

This is a serious issue: cropping is a feature that one should be able to take
for granted in any Office-like suite and has evidently been broken for a large
amount of time.

Furthermore, the issue sometime does not even need moving to a different
machine or a different display setting to trigger. Exporting to PDF may end up
distorting cropped image if done programmatically after having lauched LibO
with the `--headless` option.
