Layout problems revising OOo doc using OOo3.4
I'm encountering irritating layout problems while revising legacy
OpenOffice.org documents using the latest developer build from Apache
OpenOffice. Same file works in LibreOffice 3.4.6 with no problems.
Here are two of the issues I'm encountering (may be others that I
don't recall right now).
* Random images become invisible, though still in the file; tweaking
the frame size makes them visible again.
* Resizing a frame to a smaller vertical dimension does not cause the
following text to move up to fill the space, as it should. However,
after I close the document and reopen it, the text has moved up.
Mac OS X 10.7.3. Haven't tried on other platforms.

r1299571<http://people.apache.org/%7Eydario/packages/r1299571/os2/OOo_3.4.0_os2gcci_langpack-arc_de.zip>on
Windows XP SP2 and Mac 10.7. Both couldn't reproduce the issue you
have.

Is the frame anchored "as character" and the only 'character' in a line?
Then it might help to enter a space after the frame.
Kind regards

Random in both senses, different times & files. Not a new problem; has been around for years though I don't know the issue number. TJ might know; I think he did some research on this among other problems the Docs group has had.
The second problem I noted (below) is new to me. Has happened with all files I've tried so far.
I won't be able to upload a file BZ or anywhere for a few days. Sure wish the iPad had a personal hotspot feature.

By "random" do you mean that the same document, when loaded repeated
times, has different images not show? Or do you mean that it happens
consistently with some images, but not with others?
A sample doc attached in a BZ issue would help diagnosis this.
