Hello, Not sure on how to reproduce what you see in your environment. We are, however, using versions that are not that far apart (6.4.4.2 on Fedora downloaded from LO). I did the following:
- Insert an image - Set the anchor to "Anchor as character" - Right-click on the image, then select Insert Caption. This will place a frame around the image and insert some text with the format Figure as you indicated - Go in the frame and do the following: - Position the cursor on the caption - Hit the "Home" button to go to the beginning of the caption - Hit the Left arrow key to place the cursor just after the image - Hit Return Doing this allowed me to position the caption correctly (both vertically with paragraph spacing and horizontally with indentation - make sure the caption is left justified when you play with the indentation). The only way I could see something similar to what you are describing is when the image anchor is "Anchor to Paragraph" in which case the caption (and the image for that matter) does seem to have a mind of its own. I hope this helps. Rémy.
