            Bug ID: 134498
           Summary: Line jumps to strange place
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 4.0.0.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: pasi.juppo at iki.fi

Description:
I have made a table in Writer and been using simple drawings on the left hand
side beside the table. Simple electrical drawing like fuse, switch etc. These
drawings are "connected" to table rows where the description is written.

Occasionally when adding new rows to table, increasing the text of the table
cell so that it expands to next row within the cell or adding/moving drawings
on the left hand side, usually, one line (there are multiple lines but seldom
more than one is affected) can move to a quite much different place. Seems that
the line is somehow linked to the table and when that changes, the line changes
(position - not line dimensions). Usually line moves vertically but I've seen
it moving horizontally as well.

I can move the line back to its place with mouse but it's very annoying to do
this unnecessarily just because table content has been modified.

Not sure if it means anything in relation to this but when I select a line I
cannot move it horizontally with cursor keys. Vertical movement moves in large
jumps only. Would be really nice to do fine tuning with keys instead of mouse.

Don't recall how long this issue has been there but very long. I'm updating
LibreOffice every now and then so many versions have been tried over the years.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a table (e.g. 5 columns, 20 rows)
2. Merge rows of the first column
3. Create drawing like electrical switch (horizontal illustration) of multiple
lines
4. Move drawing to the first column so that horizontal line touches 2nd column
table row border
5. Add copies of drawings connected to other rows or make different drawings
6. Modify table: increase text in line connected rows so that the row expands
to 2nd, 3rd etc. line (cell height increases). Add rows, remove rows.

Actual Results:
One or more lines of a single drawing can jump to a different place (typically
only horizontally).

Expected Results:
Drawing remains intact despite the changes in the table. Whole drawing may need
to be moved manually to e.g. centre of the table row to maintain good outlook.


Reproducible: Always
