Re: [libreoffice-users] Any reason why resizing an image does not keep aspect ration by default?

​No, not unusual at all. I have a hard time imagining use cases where you
don't want to keep the aspect ratio.

Far too often I'm working with peoples just trying to fit an image
somewhere. They would probably find it hard to understand why the image
shrink in both dimensions when they are pulling only one way. It is sad but
it happen.

​That I can vouch for. Whatever the rationale behind the default behavior
is, having an option to change it seem reasonable.

There is a lot of options that would seem "obscur" but would greatly
increase flexibility. Perhaps it would be reasonable to have two option
dialogs: the current one, which is relatively "user friendly", and a second
one, more like the "about:config" page in firefox.
