--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Confirmed on Windows 10 Ent 64-bit en-US with
6.3.2.2 and current master/6.4.0

Precise movement of a Draw object held in a Frame in Writer is not possible
using the keyboard only.

When a Draw object (including a textbox) is inserted into a Frame and selected:

<U,D,L,R> -- ~20px movements of the object within the Frame

But with <Alt>+<U,D,L,R> -- we get 1px movements of the containing Frame--not
of the Draw object. Seems a selected Draw object can be moved with mouse drag,
but not with keyboard only.

It is not a limitation of the Frame--that can be individually selected and
moved in 1px increments with <Alt>+<U,D,L,R>

Mishandling is odd, because inserting the Draw object directly to
document,(i.e. no Frame) supports movements:
<U,D,L,R> -- ~20px movements of the object
<Alt>+<U,D,L,R> -- ~1px movement of the object

Is that an implementation error, or something that needs to be added? The
ability to precisely position Draw objects when held in Frame on a Writer
document would be helpful.

Contrast that to the Draw module where selected Draw objects on Draw canvas can
be fully moved by keyboard with:

<Shift>+<U,D,L,R> ~25px movements
<U,D,L,R> -- ~5px movements
<Alt>+<U,D,L,R> -- 1px movements

* guesstimating the movements--would need to look through the source for the
exact values calculated--point is there are 3 levels of object movement.  

@BottleOnTheGround -- in Writer the type of Anchor for the Frame, or for the
Draw object has no significance here. Also, the modifier would not be <Ctrl>,
as it is not used for object positioning in LibreOffice.
