<pre>Description:
I am trying to place certain images into a Writer document. Other images work
fine, but with these ones I just get a black box with the image's aspect ratio.
It is possible to make the image display normally using the Brightness control,
but the default is black.
Sample image: <a href="http://www.ramendik.ru/pic-5-1as.bmp">http://www.ramendik.ru/pic-5-1as.bmp</a>
These are BMP files made by an obscure conversion utility. They open fine in
chrome and gwenview and gimp. Moreover. if I use imagemagick or gimp to convert
to tiff or png, the problem persists!
After a conversion to JPG the images do display but JPG affects the quality. A
Gimp conversion to PSD also fixes the issue, but not an ImageMagick conversion
to PSD.
This happened in version 5.3.5.2 on OpenSuSe Leap for me. Others in the ASk
question at
<a href="https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/137078/putting-certain-images-into-writer-results-in-image-sized-black-box/">https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/137078/putting-certain-images-into-writer-results-in-image-sized-black-box/</a>
were able to reproduce on Linux but not on Windows.
