            Bug ID: 128813
           Summary: inconsistent placement of drawing object from docx
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.2.8.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: stephane.guillou at member.fsf.org

Description:
Opening a document created with MSO Word shows a "drawing object" at the wrong
location, and its "arrangement" is incoherent.

Using the Navigator to find it shows that it is saved as a drawing object, and
can reveal its position, seemingly hidden behind a table.
Trying to reveal the picture by changing its position relative to other objects
doesn't work when clicking "Bring to front", but does work with "Send to back"
– the opposite of what is expected.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open attached "created_in_MSO.docx" file: the bottle is not visible
2. Export as a PDF: the bottle is visible, but misplaced over the green table.


Actual Results:
The picture of a clear glass bottle is nowhere to be seen in LO Writer (see
LO_Writer_6.3.3.2_editing.png attachment).

When using the Navigator, we find that the picture is actually listed under
"Drawing objects" instead of "Images" – possibly because it was rotated in MSO?
Highlighting the drawing object does show the position of it on the page: it
seems to be behind the green table.

Using the "Bring to font" button does not reveal it. However, very
unexpectedly, using the "Send to back" button does show the picture!
It seems that the only ways to see the picture are:
- sending the object to the background, or;
- sending it to the back of the foreground.

Printing or exporting as a PDF will show the picture in the exported document
(see LO_Writer_6.3.3.2_export.pdf attachment), but at a the same inaccurate
position.

Expected Results:
The bottle should be positioned at the same spot as when opening the file with
Microsoft Office, and be visible just like the other pictures.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Not sure what version of MSO was used to create this document, but MSO 2016 was
used to open the docx and see the original layout.

The issue was exactly the same in both LO:
