Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 12777
multiple images paste into footnote area not main page

This is a strange one. I was trying to paste a list of 16 filenames into a letter, and accidentally pasted the image files themselves: 36MB of compressed files. OOo didn't crash -- congratulations. It wheezed and groaned for a while, and then displayed all the images. But all except the first had been pasted into the footer area of the page. That's definitely a mistake. I had been going to upload the resulting file, but, as I say, it's 36MB, so I probably better had not. Steps to repeat: 1) open a writer document with footers 2) select and copy multiple image files from Windows Explorer -- more than will fit on one page 3) with the cursor on the page body of the Writer document, press "paste". 4) watch where the images end up. I am not sure that this ought to be priority 3. There can't be many people who try this trick; I have no ide what would happen under Linux. But it is definitely a bug.
Verified: If te cursor is not an footer or header, the graphics will insert as expected at the page body.
All I can say is it does not work for me. I definitely had the cursor in the main page area. That's were the first image ended up, as I expected it to. But I had lultiple images selected. The second and subsequent ones were pasted into the footer area; after about five of them had been pasted there, the next bunch were pasted into the footer of the second page. Are you sure you tried pasting multiple images -- too many to fit onto one page?
This task is fixed or worked in OOo 1.1 beta2.
