In that article, photo no. 26, "Sitting on Unfolded Chair", is an even better example and testcase, because as you can see in this 2nd demonstration video, it _requires_ multiple steps to resize down due to some weird behavior in LibreOffice Writer where it "blocks" the resizing to a certain intermediate size first...
It also illustrates the jumping/scrolling problem quite well: when you initially downsize the image, it "jumps" two pages upwards so you have to guess that it's gone over there, scroll way up, and continue resizing. Writer should instead have auto-scrolled to the image's new position so that it stays in view.
@Timur: yup, I searched around before filing this, but did not see a ticket clearly documenting this specific issue in a very applied/concrete/clear way, with demonstrations etc. Namely I saw bug #107703 but it gets lost in the noise of "can't reproduce" and "PPI" discussions; I don't care about PPI, it's not relevant to the user, I only care about the images being auto-sized to fit within the page width and height if they do exceed those boundaries, so not exactly the same thing in my opinion. Right-click on the image, Properties [F4] - Position & size - Relative to entire paragraph area (width+height) - Keep ratio. In any case, IMO a request for enhancement, not a bug. *** Bug 151992 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 129225 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This bug is still valid for Version: 7.6.2.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 60(Build:1) CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 6.5; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI: de-DE Calc: threaded For cases where there are image dimensions set in the source HTML (via width, height, max-width, max-height) these values should also be taken into account. |
