(In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #2)
In principle pro harmonization and sharing (although writer having some
dedicated settings like wrap/anchoring)

But I think this not simply limited to GUI and also requiring harmonization of
internals:

"Impress 8" produces an OLE. There crop is not needed, because it is done by
the frame.

"Drawing Format" produces a shape. In Draw/Impress the command
.uno:GrafAttrCrop contains the cropping. This command is not available in
Writer. Therefore not the original image is inserted, but an image that only
has the part, that remains after cropping. --> Feature request: Implement
.uno:GrafAttrCrop for those shapes, that would be able to be cropped in
Draw/Impress and then insert the shape in original size and crop it.

"GDI" contains an image wrapped into a vector format.
"Bitmap" contains an image directly.
Both "GDI" and "Bitmap" contain only the part, that remains after cropping.
That has always been this way, so I would say it is more a feature request than
a bug. I think, that the current behavior can be improved. The images can be
inserted in original size and the same cropping as in Draw/Impress can then be
applied automatically. For such images cropping is available in Writer as part
of .uni:GraphicDialog. I don't know, whether the clipboard already contains the
needed information.

Cropping is part of the style of family "Graphic" in file format. LibreOffice
distinguishes between images as shapes and Writer-images, but nevertheless uses
the same kind of style in file format, only naming one "gr" and the other "fr".
Currently this distinction is necessary, because the capabilities of
"Draw-Images" and "Writer-Images" are different.

The aim should be, to get rid of "Writer-Images". This issue belongs to this
aim, regardless of naming it "bug" or "feature request".
