I am using LibreOffice Version: 5.1.0.3 Build ID:
1:5.1.0~rc3-0ubuntu1~trusty0; the bug is still there. It is almost five
years that I am checking this bug and it has never been resolved. Folks
here saying that "the bug has been fixed since LibO 4.3.5," it has not
been the case for me. I installed all new updates; installed it fresh
for every single major update since 4.3. The bug is still there and it
is very annoying. It does not exist in Impress or Draw, it only affects
Writer.
I am using LibreOffice as my main productivity suite and I usually have
diagrams and images that I need to put an arrow or circle on it to show
a specific feature in the image. I cannot group them in Writer. Every
time, I have to insert the image and the drawing element in Impress or
Draw, select and group them there; then copy and paste it in Writer.
I think it is a major problem. I am a devoted Libreoffice user. I wrote
my 350 page PhD dissertation in LibreOffice and this very bug was a pain
in the rear end every single time.
I hope someone resolve this issue once for ever. As it simply works in
Impress and Draw!
