Images within Tables

This is a scenario that tests how applications handle the style:flow-with-text attribute. This attribute is how an image anchored within a table cell behaves. Does the cell visually grow to hold the image (if attr is true), or do the cell not care about the images (if attr is false)

In the file all images have the attribute set to false. But I've indentified that all applications behave differently.

Spoiler: At the time of upload ms word always assume the value is true, and has even placed all images in first cell. AOO/LO respects the flag, but due to what I can only assume is a bug still sometimes places the images within the confines ot the cell. Calligra correctly interprets the flag, and leaves the images visually outside the cell (but they are still anchored to a position within.

Playing with Ms Word it seems it's a limitation in MS Word in general, so it can't really be blamed that they don't respect the flag. Howevr placing all images in first cell appears to be a further bug.

Playing wit LO it seems like a really inconsistent bug. Eventhough the attr is false sometimes the cell grows, sometimes not. I have not been able to find a pattern and this is why I bring this scenario up.

Calligra does as it should. Famous last words..
