Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 47955
Converting cropped picture considers the complete picture not the cutted piece

Open a new draw and insert a bitmap. Crop something from the bottom. Rigth click and convert it into a polygon: the complete picture is taken for that action, not the cutted piece. Why is the former cropping action not considered?
Worked in OOo 1.0 CL->AW: Do you have an idea how this got broken?
AW->CL: Nothing has changed. In SO7, the bitmap is converted to MetaFile and kept as graphic object, also the cropping is kept and shown. Same in SO8. The MetaFile needs to be broken open in a 2nd step to show the polygon objects. With that step, it is shown that the whole bitmap was converted. In SO7, there is a repaint missing to show that, in SO8 it's better.
So in that case its a feature request, I will retarget. CL->AW: Please consider this as it makes sense for one of the next feature releases
This should be reworked ASAP. The complete cropping behaviour and dialog is totally user-hostile. We are living now for years with this temporary arrangement. It is totally crap!
AW->CL: WG is right, it's acase for a spec and UserExperience. Maybe You send it there, i do not know who would be the right person, though.
