Hi :)I had not really noticed that because it was what i expected anyway. I kinda like it this way because i right-click one pic go to "picture" change the size, anchor point, wrap, maybe add a url to make it clickable. Then drag it away and grab the next pic. So, i like it because i know where all the pics are and it help me track which i have done and which i haven't.
There might be some mileage in working out how to use "position" in the same dialogue-box to move the pic to roughly the right position, or even exactly right spot if i ever knew that in advance. Has this behaviour changed in LO recently? If it's always been like this then it's a feature request isn't it? Otherwise it's a bug report and might help to find out which version changed the behaviour?
