            Bug ID: 141162
           Summary: A method to drag anchor without moving its object is
                    needed
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: mikekaganski at hotmail.com

Whenever you drag an anchor of a paragraph-character-anchored object, related
object moves together with the anchor. This makes it impossible to fine-tune
anchoring of objects on screen, when their positioning is set.

Steps:

1. In a Writer document, add several paragraphs.
2. Insert an image, and anchor it to the first paragraph.
3. Now try to drag the *anchor* of the image, with the goal to re-anchor it to
paragraph 2, but not to change its position (assuming we want the image to be
linked to the second paragraph's text, but be positioned at the same place
where it was before).

=> The image moves to the following paragraphs when you drag the anchor, so the
only way to make the desired change is to enter numbers into the Properties
dialog.

Of course, the proposed method (bindable to some keyboard modifier like
Ctrl+Alt+Shift) should limit the movement of the object to disallow making the
object and the anchor on different pages.

This is the reverse to bug 141161.
