            Bug ID: 121300
           Summary: Images anchored to a paragraph are lost when the
                    parent paragraph is deleted in a DOCX file
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha1+ Master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: libreoffice at nisz.hu

Description:
There is a significant difference in how LibreOffice Writer handles images
anchored to a paragraph when the parent paragraph is deleted, depending on the
file format of the document:
– If the format of the document is DOCX, deleting the paragraph also deletes
the image.
– If the format of the document is ODT, deleting the paragraph simply causes
the image to move up one paragraph.

The issue is more apparent when the paragraph contains only one single
character besides the anchor of image:
– If the format of the document is DOCX, selecting the only character in the
paragraph also marks the image as selected.
– If the format of the document is ODT, selecting the only character in the
paragraph doesn't mark the image as selected.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a new text document in LibreOffice Writer, and add a few paragraphs of
random text.
2.Create an empty paragraph somewhere in the document and insert an image by
clicking on Insert > Image. Writer inserts the image anchored to paragraph by
default, so there is no need to change that.
3.Save the document both as ODT and DOCX.
4.Close the document and reopen both the ODT and DOCX file in Writer.
5.Delete the paragraph containing the image in both versions of the document.


Actual Results:
The image disappears from the DOCX document, and moves up one paragraph in the
ODT document

Expected Results:
The image should move up one paragraph both in the DOCX and the ODT document.


Reproducible: Always
