Description Jay Philips 2014-12-25 22:45:59 UTC
When an image is anchored as 'As Character' it is not possible to drag it around like a character and drop it in a middle of a sentence. The only means of dragging an image set to 'As Character' is up and downwards, but it simply moves the image up and down according to the line its in, there isnt a means of moving it left and right or to the previous or next line.

Version: 4.5.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: e570cd7a293ceee175949dcc9656cdf776ae3c37
TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86@45-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2014-12-12_18:49:54

Tested it on Windows 7 and it acts the same.

Reproducible with LO 4.4.0.0.beta1 and 4.3.4.1 (Win 8.1).

Text you can move everywhere you want by dragging it with the mouse.  But an image anchored as character can only be moved up and down.  But if you move it down then it becomes like an "enlarged" character (empty space above the image, -> try to put the cursor above the image -> a further bug).
Comment 2 Jay Philips 2014-12-25 23:32:59 UTC
The most optimal solution is that when an image is dragged with 'As Character', the image itself is not being dragged, but the anchor icon that appears and is draggable in 'To Character' gets dragged.

Scratch my last suggest, as the better thing is that to show the drag mouse icon, with the character dash showing where its new location will be, similar to how it shows this functionality when you highlight some text and drag it.
