Why wrapping around image in table cell in footer doesn't work but does in text well?
Hello, attached is a simple writer document. The wrapping in the table cell in the text area works well. The copied cell in the footer table doesn't behave as well. Why? no-wrapping-around-image-in-footer.odt
Very strange: if I copy your image in a blank document, wrap options work only in main text area. I can't even get a correct header (both header and footer exhibit the same nonsense behaviour). To be sure, I tested outside table.
Here LO 6.0.7.3.0
It seems that wrapping does not sufficiently work in tables located in header or footer. LibreOffice 6.2.0.3 and Apache OpenOffice 4.1.6. and Oracle OpenOffice 3.2.1. and OpenOffice Portable 2.4.1. Must be a very old bug. In OpenOffice 1.1.5 the wrapping works okay.
@Grantler: how do you then explain that I have the same bug outside table in footer/header?
@ajlittoz
I only checked the tables because of @Addi's question. And, yes, you are right, the wrapping is confused even in regular text environment in header/footer.
The "explanation" - in general - could be, that entire wrapping in headers/footers is trashy. I have never heard of this bug for years until today. - If I needed a graphics object in header/footer I would basically anchor as character. For many cases it is the stablest way to do that.
And: For text area backgrounds I never have had bad experiences to anchor graphics objects (to paragraph) in header/footer. It simply worked well.
@Grantler: anchoring graphics to the desired position needs a lot of practice. Apart from To Page which has non well described constraints, the other modes work quite well if you understand thoroughly (this is the important word) what's going on. I recently experimented with To Character to get interesting effects.
