Description bugcatcher1 2016-08-08 15:37:04 UTC
What: Copied picture and text from this page: http://www.zdnet.com/article/linux-mint-the-right-way-to-react-to-a-security-breach/

How: Copied from bottom paragraph of article:
     "I hope that the Mint developers get the credit that they deserve for their response to this problem. They certainly got  more criticism than they deserved for it." 

to top of page: "Linux Mint: The right way to react to a security breach"

Problem: Text came in ok, but picture was rectangle stretching from edge to edge of document. Could not resize the picture (graphic showing the linux mint screen).

"Fix": Deleted non-resizable picture and did "copy image" from web page. Pasted into document. Voila, resizable picture!

System: Linux Mint 17.3,  Cinnamon 64 bit (2.8.8), Kernel 4.4.0-31
LibreOffice: Version: 5.1.4.2

I can confirm this.

As for the "could not resize the picture" part, yes you can. Right-click on image, pick "Format image" and under cropping set both width and height to 100%. (you could Shift-drag it from the right side handle as well, but that would not end up at the right ratio).

Repro 6.4+ with other problems: password requested on paste and no image really pasted.

Dear bugcatcher1,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
