            Bug ID: 137822
           Summary: Text boxes on docx do not have correct wrapping
                    configuration on LibreOffice
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.1.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
Some text boxes on Microsoft word files are formatted incorrectly due to the
Wrap setting on them (default seems to be Page Wrap).  This is causing the text
boxes to have incorrect formatting and is moving them over other object/text on
the document.

I'm able to manually fix this issue by selecting the text boxes and changing
the wrapping style to "Optimal Page Wrap", but applying this indiscriminately
to the whole document causes most pages to go blank and sometimes crashes
LibreOffice.

At a large scale, we won't be able to tell which text boxes actually need this
new wrapping style, and which ones it would format even worse.  Libre should be
able to handle the correct wrapping style from the word document.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open included file with LibreOffice.  Or Copy/Paste text boxes included on
original file (docx) above block of text.  Not exactly sure how the text boxes
were made on this file, but they seem to be causing issues.  I have attached
the wrapping settings on another screenshot (text_box_wrapping_settings.png)

2. Upon opening file with LibreOffice the formatting for the text boxes is off
and they are moved around/over other text on the page

Actual Results:
Text boxes are wrapping incorrectly around/over other text and objects on the
document.

Expected Results:
Text box stays formatted how it was in the docx.  This can be accomplished by
changing the wrap settings on LibreOffice to Optimal Page Wrapping for the text
box.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Libre should have chosen the correct wrapping settings based on the microsoft
word file. Be it Optimal Page Wrapping or some other setting.
