@Bryan i remember trying the fixed zoom factor but i guess the page size is calculated relatively to the available window size so the fixed zoom also triggered a redraw...
what really helped was to select an image and dragging the image editing toolbar up next the other existing toolbars just below the menu line so the text time it appeared there and since page display area did not change, there was also no redraw happening... thanks for the hint! nevertheless, maybe libre should be regularly tested for usability with some large images included. for my A0 poster i had 12 png images, each at least 8000 pixels across, and it was quite a pain adding text around them... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1192599 Title: writer: zoom fraction changes when clicking on figures Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: 1) lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 13.04 Release: 13.04 2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer libreoffice-writer: Installed: 1:4.0.2-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 1:4.0.2-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1:4.0.2-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) What is expected to happen in Writer via a terminal: cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1192599/+attachment/3707409/+files/lorem_ipsum.odt && lowriter --nologo lorem_ipsum.odt is when one clicks View -> Zoom -> Fit width and height -> OK click the text, then click the picture, the zoom does not change. 4) What happens instead is it does.
