The right hand image jumps to margin when moved

In the attached .docx, if I touch the right hand image with the mouse, the image jumps to the right hand margin and can only be put back by setting the position in the Properties dialogue.
Expected behaviour: the image can be dragged and placed in a new location and stay where it is placed.

Issue arose in https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/positioning-images-of-different-sizes-and-shapes-side-by-side-and-setting-default-text-padding-to-0-2cm/105752/4

UnstableImages.docx created in Word 2010 for this report following this question: 
"Every time I add the second image to the right of another image it snaps to the right edge of the page."

Same behaviour seen in 6.4.7.2

Version: 24.2.3.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 433d9c2ded56988e8a90e6b2e771ee4e6a5ab2ba
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 22631; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: en-NZ (en_NZ); UI: en-GB
Calc: CL threaded

I got the same behavior but then I was able to drag the image by:

1. right clicking the image

2. select "Properties"

3. Under the "Anchor" option I select "To page"


tested on:
Version: 24.2.3.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: fc604d5980a783e74808a001f1918a603d920494

Comment 2 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2024-05-29 12:14:44 UTC
I reproduce this in a recent daily build:

Version: 24.8.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: b860aea9d6f8ac46f6d2575ead25337495ec9a88
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.5; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: CL threaded

Also in libreoffice-4.4.0.3, but not in libreoffice-4.3.0.4 -> regression.

Bibisected with linux-43max repo to first bad build [6c9f891c30f7d4c59e35b1c34eec3ee7268353f2] which points to:

fix picture jumping to incorrect X position after dragging

Observations:
- Saving as ODT does not help.
- Anchoring to paragraph does not help.
- Dropping the image over the left-hand-side image does move it somewhat to the left.
- Moving the left-hand-side image ("Picture 3") away from the left margin resolves the issue: the anchor of the problematic image ("Picture 1") is shown on the left margin while dragging.

Reviewing the other reports bibisected to the same commit, I see it as the same issue as bug 139232: pushed to the right margin when another image is to its left.
