            Bug ID: 134325
           Summary: EDITING: Inserting gallery clip art outside of a
                    layout box creates a linked image
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.4.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Impress
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: chris at upnix.com

Description:
I've failed to find the correct name, but the "layout box" I reference are the
dotted boxes that are created for you when you select different slide layouts.

Inserting gallery clipart on an empty slide creates a relative link to that
clipart in the LO installation. Moving a saved presentation deeper into the
directory structure, or on to a computer with LO installed, will break the
gallery image.

This behaviour does not occur if the image is added to a slide layout box.

Steps to Reproduce:
(1) In Impress, create a new presentation. Create a slide layout where one half
of the slide is a layout box, and the other half is not. (I'll attach a
screenshot)

(2) Open the Gallery

(3) Drag any item from the gallery, and drop it on to the layout box

(4) Drag a second item from the gallery (could be the same image), and drop it
on the side of the slide *without* the layout box.

(5) Save your presentation.




Actual Results:
You now have one linked, and one embedded image. How can you be sure? Two ways
to confirm:
(1) In the directory where you've saved this file, create a new directory. Move
the saved presentation to this directory and open it in LibreOffice. The linked
image should be broken.

(2) Unzip the .odp file and look at the 'content.xml' file. You'll see that one
of the "<draw:image xlink:href=" tags is relative to the LibreOffice
application installation.

Expected Results:
Both gallery images should be embedded in the presentation; neither should be
linked.

The problem, to be clear, is that you can't move your presentation any more.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
* I was unable to recreate this problem on Windows 10, LO 6.4.4.2
* Behaviour occurs in safe mode
