Good morning @ll,
while I was looking through the list of unconfirmed bugs, I 
discovered bug #76624 
(https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76624). To reproduce 
this bug, I copied an image from 
https://www.google.com.mx/search?q=sol&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=R5UyU5e5OOXLsQT8rIDAAw&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ&biw=1024&bih=483#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=LqB-IrJ9puxFEM%253A%3BJ_D6dBUvsAJ5qM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fupload.wikimedia.org%252Fwikipedia%252Fcommons%252Ff%252Ff6%252FAfiche_del_sol.svg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fes.wikipedia.org%252Fwiki%252FSol%3B3880%3B2560 
into Writer via context menu and selecting "Paste". This neither 
crashes nor slows down Writer, as the bug reporter has written it in 
his bug description. So far, so good :)

But when I deselect the image, go to "Insert – Manual Break..." and 
press Enter, I can paste the same copy of this picture on the 
following page in LO Version: 4.2.3.3 Build ID: 
6c3586f855673fa6a1576797f575b31ac6fa0ba3 (parallel installed, 
following the instructions from 
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel) with 
Germanophone lang- as well as helppack under Debian Testing i686. So 
far, so good, so ... ;)

But if I try the same with LO Version: 4.1.5.3 Build-ID: 
1c1366bba2ba2b554cd2ca4d87c06da81c05d24, it removes the page break 
instead ... :(

Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to the above mentioned Gargle link
2. Rightclick on one of the images and choose "Copy image" (or 
something like that. In German, it is "Grafik kopieren")
3. Open Writer
4. Rightclick in Writer and choose "Paste"
5. Click somewhere next to the image to deselect it
6. Go to "Insert – Manual Break..."
7. Press the Enter key
8. Try this in 4.1.5.3 as well as 4.2.3.3.

You will see, that in 4.2.3.3 the page break will still be there 
after inserting the image on the second side. In LO 4.1.5.3 this 
page break will vanish ... :(

Can someone confirm it with a different OS/architecture or even in 
an older version of LO? Does anybody know, if this is already 
reported? Or should I add this as a comment to bug #76624??
TIA
Thomas.
