showing the bug and what it should be

In https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87720#c64 al F
complained that not all settings from Frame style "Graphics" change the
defaults of the inserted image. One comment earlier I complained about a
similar problem. My complaint has been resolved partially in the development
version of 2021-09-07_18:32:17 or possibly a few weeks earlier.

Perhaps the relevant code is there almost twice in separate but not completely
identical menus
    • Frame style "Graphics" 
and in 
    • Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > Formatting Aids

The former is a more complete set and they all should influence the default
setting for a newly placed image. Possibly the latter dialog becomes
superfluous after all default settings are taken from the style sheet for
frames for images.

al F referred to Version 2021-09-07_18:32:17 and he deplored that a few
settings from the Frame style "Graphics" do not become defaults to an inserted
image and he asked to make all the settings in the style sheet become defaults
for newly pasted graphics.

Steps to reproduce: 
1. define the preferences in the frame fro an image in the style sheet,
especially anchor to paragraph.
2. make some screenshot of different sizes
3. place them to adjacent paragraphs to a the document with the styles defined
in step 1.
4. Observe which of the parameters settable in the style sheet are used as
default and which of them are taken from some other default. Not all position
parameters do become default, see attachment. But there may be more than those
mentioned there.

Result: The screenshots sometimes get placed strange when they would otherwise
cross the page border. Sometimes they extend into the footer area. This can be
avoided by positioning them to the paragraph text area each.

Further I would prefer it if in the properties dialogue for a graphic object in
the tab Type the check mark for Keep ratio would be initially checked
(currently it is off by default. I have heard that this is hard coded.
Presetting it on that would require minimum effort then).

At least Anchor to paragraph has become possible meanwhile in the development
branch. However not all position parameters are accessible through Tools >
Options > LibreOffice Writer > Formatting Aids > Anchor. All default settings
could be taken from there making the other dialog superfluous.
