--- Comment #1 from Rainer Bielefeld <LibreOffice at bielefeldundbuss.de> 2012-07-31 12:36:46 UTC ---
[Reproducible] with Server Installation of  "LibreOffice 3.6.0.4 rc  English
UI/ German Locale [Build-ID:  932b512] on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit),
Oracle Report Builder 1.2.1:

1. From Start Center create and save new "sample.odb"
2. Database-Pane: <Reports>
3. Tasks-Pane: 'Create Report in Design View ...'
  > Report Designer appears
4. Click into Page footer
   (Related properties appear at the right)
5. Menu 'Insert -> Picture -> From File
   > LibO (or OS) File Dialog appears
6. Browse for arbitrary few MB  .tif and click
   Expected: greyed out checkbox "Link" should be active, it should be possible
             to embed the picture
   Actual: checkbox "Link" keeps inactive (is greyed out), 
           only linking for picture will be possible.

File size will be < 15KB after having cloed "sample.odb", so (as expected)
picture has been linked

I can't find any reasonable idea why embedded pictures should be forbidden.

Already [Reproducible] with Server installation of  Master "LOdev 3.6.0alpha0+ 
– WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) ENGLISH UI [Build ID:
475d0c5-829fc92-39746e8-206648e-fefd87]" (2012-02-14)
and
LibreOffice 3.4.5 OOO340m1 (Build:501)

I think linking was never possible in Report Editor.

For related, but different bug in image control file dialog see "Bug 53001 -
REPORT BUILDER UI: Unlink picture action in Image control file dialog without
effect"
