            Bug ID: 123801
           Summary: Small caps captions do not display the
                    Figure/Illustration/etc. category label
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.6.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: lomacar at gmail.com

Description:
This at least applies to captions on images when the caption is below the
image, which is the typical scenario for caption. It is not relevant for table
captions, since with tables, the caption is just created as a separate
paragraph in the normal document text flow.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert an image into a Writer document
2. With the image selected insert a caption
3. Change the Caption paragraph style to use Small Caps font effect

Actual Results:
The caption's category label (Figure, etc.) disappears.

Expected Results:
The full caption should be visible.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
This also happens if you select everything inside the caption frame and apply
Small Caps as direct formatting, or if you select the caption plus a mysterious
invisible something on the line above (the line that the image is on) and apply
Small Caps.

The label is not hiding behind the image. If you make the image transparent you
will see that the label is in fact gone. Yet, if you delete the image, the
label reappears!

Workaround: set the image anchor to Paragraph.
Alternate Workaround: click on the caption text, move the cursor all the way to
the beginning of the text frame, before the image, then press the right arrow
key once so the cursor is now on the right side of the image, then press enter
to create a paragraph break between the image and the caption.

Obviously this won't effect a lot of people and the workaround is OK *if* you
know to do it. But it is strange and I think it is just another example showing
that captions are handle poorly in LO. 

And what is that mysterious invisible thing between the image and the caption?
It doesn't show up when you display formatting marks, and it doesn't even exist
in the text flow, based on moving the cursor with the arrow keys, and yet there
is clearly something there.
