Description László Németh 2013-05-10 08:02:08 UTC
The attached file contains a "frozen" image, that doesn't respond for the mouse clicks in effect (only sporadically). Workarounds to select it are to use the keyboard selection (Shift-F4), selection frames, or LibreOffice 3.4 (that is free from this kind of selection problem.), but these operations are not so trivial for the average users.

It seems, the problem is related to the new header/footer GUI. The picture is anchored to the paragraph of the header. It is important, that not intentionally: normal operations, like setting the anchoring point of a picture to paragraph from page can result the anchoring to the paragraph of the header (like in the case of the original version of the attached test file).

Tested with the master, too.

Not bisectable using bibisect40 package. Opening it using 3.5.0 alpha version (oldest) the image is shifted almost completely out of the document, and is still not clickable.

Hmm, I just tried this with latest master and -4-1, in both versions I can select the image using ctrl-click just fine.

Other than that, it indeed seems that no ctrl was needed in 3.4.
