Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 12952
drag-n-drop images into a table acts does not drop the image where cursor stands.
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:26:11 UTC
When dragging an image and (trying to) insert it into a table, it doesn't being dropped where your cursor is, it tends to be dropped where the object's image left-right corner is and it doesn't being dropped into cells in the current object's row almost never. it seems like a random bug - no rules for which cells should work.
Created attachment 5416 [details] an OOo document examplifying the problem
I've also noticed it leaves 'junk' in the table's cells
HI->MRU: Try to set the graphic in each cell, you'll need patience.
MRU->OD: when moving a graphic inside a table you can see the anchor jumping into the first cell while crossing cell borders. Also when the dotted "help line" around a graphic is moved over the anchor, the mentioned "junk" can be noticed.
OD->MRU (22.04.2003): Described defect isn't missing functionality or crash or freeze and isn't broken - also in OOo 1.0.3/SO 6.0 PP3 and SO 5.2. Thus, decrease priority to P4. Because of priority, please re-target issue.
Changed target to OO 2.0, because fix isn't so trivial as it may look. Also the problem isn't newly intoduced (was available in much older builds).
OD (23.04.2003): accepted.
I rated it P2 as it's a missing functionality as you have no trivial way to move an image to a cell in a table. Having this bug in a release will possibly cause alot of frustration to naive users.
OD->mehlng (24.04.2003): We rated the described defect with priority P4 because the defect occurs, if at the proposed 'drop position' - the left-top-corner respectively the right-left-corner of the graphic depending on the text direction - is *no* paragraph. Observe the anchor of the graphic during its move and You will succeed to place the graphic in the proposed cell Yes, You are right, the defect is very annoying and we will fix it, but - as above mentioned - the corresponding code is not so trivial and such a change in the current beta phase is somehow critical.

According to the OpenOffice.org roadmap (http://tools.openoffice.org/releases) this issue was retargeted to OOo Later.
