Description S K 2012-07-13 15:24:45 UTC
Use case:
 * open lowriter
 * Insert -> Object -> OLE Object -> Drawing
 * Inside drawing it's not possible to insert any other OLE objects or edit them (Like Formula)

So there should be possible to edit/insert OLE inside OLE.

This feature is quite welcome for some people. Feature is called "Activate OLE object outplace". Where is this feature? It was even in localization string of libreoffice "MN_OLE_POPUPMENU.FN_OUTPLACE_OLE.menuitem.text".

When an OLE Draw object is in a Writer document, it should be appreciated to be able to edit this drawing in a full Draw window.

Keep actual in place editing on double-click.
Rename "Edit" context menu to "Edit here".
Add an "Edit out place" in context menu.

... 

I also change summary notes to the same of Bug 72892 which looks clearer to me.
