Re: [libreoffice-users] Image Anchor Selection

I have found anchoring of images and objects the most frustrating thing 
in LO, some changes to LO have meant having to re-anchor all images in 
older documents. Anchoring to page is a valuable choice for me, what I 
would really like is an option to choose the anchor point and for it to 
remain unchanged by what ever algorithm moves the anchor point from one 
location to another, frequently jumping from inside a table to some 
other paragraph on the page.
May be something like "Lock Anchor".
