Description tonyfreeman 2009-09-13 19:51:39 UTC
PROBLEM: In order for the caption to move around with the image (if one decides
to move the image to another location in the document) one has to be very
careful to select the frame that contains the caption and image.  Intuitively,
one would select the image and move it to the new location, but this causes
strange and unexpected behavior when a caption is involved (the caption doesn't
move with the image).

HISTORY: My wife was trying to arrange a bunch of images on a page with
captions.  When she tried to move the images around on the page, the captions
did not follow.  It took about 45 minutes for me to finally discover that one
needs to be very careful about selecting the caption box/frame (and not the
image) in order to move the image (with associated caption) within the document.

I'm requesting that this behavior be changed.  Possibly make captions behave
similar to layers in that they can be locked to or grouped with the image by
default.  Perhaps when the image is inserted, it is automatically grouped with a
blank caption.  When the users types in caption information then a border
becomes visible around the image and caption and expands as the sentence gets
longer.

This is slightly related to issue; maybe this can be implemented together.
