Well obviously this bug report is a mixture of issues. Relative increasing size
(as it has no decimal value). Unchecking relative breaking ratio in a whole..

So you want to go back.. before you made any change (so pressed OK).. yes, you
have UNDO. But well sometimes you take the wrong turn and ask yourself well
what happened here.. And start with the dialog (and before you know.. you are
fighting the dialog)

So at some point you want the size back, and you press "original size" prior to
those relative changes.. which break Aspect Ratio (and those things I do
forget).. And you again get something unexpected in the given context

What 'original size' isn't that clear. 
* Original size of Image without DPI is screen DPI and number of pixels. 
* And image with DPI will choose original size based on embedded DPI. 
* Or in my case, in wanted original size to be the size before relative change.

Anyhow I get the 'original size' button in Crop tab (which defines what you get
). But it's more mystery box in Type tab.

I think that 'Original size' surely being bad label :-). Size
multi-interpretable (dimensions or file size?).

Original; original from what? And why is it the 'original' dimensions. And
image without DPI embedded doesn't have 'original dimensions'. It's attributed
some dimensions.

And if an image inserted being bigger compared to Writer page size, it will
automatically shrink the image to fit on page.. Which can be seen as "the
original size" (as inserted in document). But maybe the image original size is
50x100cm; dimensions calculated fallback screen DPI (in case of a high res
image without embedded DPI) 

Some genetic label, might be better. Something like Default Dimensions. It
feels as surprise button in advance :-), being cryptic enough to not entail
much of expectation.. And can't disappoint. 

List of certain options: 
Default dimensions
Restore dimensions
Initial dimensions
Embedded image dimensions
Default image dimensions
Restore image dimensions
