Description jose.velez 2020-03-28 08:51:58 UTC
Description:
Allow overlap does not work when vertical position is set to "Bottom" respect to "Page text area".

This is a very common configuration because, in a formal text like a book, figures must be at the bottom of the pages instead of in the middle of the pages.

Steps to Reproduce:
1 - Create a text that fulfill two pages with the same paragraph.
2 - Insert two images, both anchored to the first paragraph (or to the first letter of the first page).
3 - Set vertical position for both figures as "bottom" respect "page text area"
4 - For both figures, set "None" in Wrap settings and uncheck "Allow overlap"

Actual Results:
Result: The figures remain overlapped.

Expected Results:
Result: The figures does not overlap.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
It does not work either with any warp configurations.
Also, It does not work with "top" and "Page text area".

I've tried to reproduce it and LO crashed

1 - Create a text that fulfill two pages with the same paragraph.
2 - Insert two images, both anchored to the first paragraph (or to the first letter of the first page).
3 - Set vertical position for both figures as "bottom" respect "page text area"
4 - For first image uncheck "Allow overlap"
5 - For first image set "None" in Wrap

LO crashes

I've reported this with bug 131729. Would be nice, if you can confirm it. Thanks.
Comment 5 Dieter 2020-04-01 06:50:56 UTC
I've tried again (this time without a crash), but couldn't reproduce. Images doesn't overlap text.
Comment 6 jose.velez 2020-04-01 07:19:33 UTC
The problem is that images overlap between them. 

This is a new feature of LO 6.4 (https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/6.4#Writer, https://vmiklos.hu/blog/sw-shape-allow-overlap.html)

The images do not overlap the text, but the images overlap between them. And this is contrary to the new feature.

You can see it in the screenshot attached to this bug page.

Thanks for that information. But when I just have to overlapping shapes in a document (like in the video) and disable "Allow overlap" nothing happens. So problem is perhaps much broader?

But with your explanation I confirm the bug report

Dear jose.velez,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword

The behavior is the same in 24.2.3.2

"Allow overlaps" does nothing in this case. Moreover, if you deactivate allow overlap in the options of two figures and play a bit with them, you can get them overlapping in any case.
