Description jolatt 2006-08-07 09:21:12 UTC 
In tools-options ... automatic caption is activated.

This has only effect, if you insert a graphic over menu insert or toolbar
'tools'. If you use drag & drop no caption will be created.

MRU->OS: as described, no AutoCaption will be added when a picture is inserted
via drag and drop e.g. from WInExplorer.
Comment 2 jolatt 2008-11-23 09:27:18 UTC 
With OOo 3.0 Autocaption will be inserted when adding a picture per Drag&Drop.

Please check yourself and close this issue if you can confirm.

In OOo 3.0, drag+drop from Windows Explorer works (AutoCaption is inserted).
On Solaris, this does not work, neither on Linux (MROE tested on Ubuntu 8.04
with Gnome/Nautilus. 
Setting "OperationSystem" to Unix, X11.

Still doesn't work reliably for me with OOo 3.1.1 and 3.2 (Linux + Windows).
Sometimes it works but I can't reproduce it.

The bug also appears when inserting objects via clipboard and not just when
using drag&dop.
Comment 6 jolatt 2013-02-18 14:37:53 UTC

I tested it with:
AOO414m1(Build:9784)  -  Rev. 1781705
2017-02-25_12:44:26 - Rev. 1784375

Bug still exists as described, but I found another behavior:
AutoCaption works inserting a graphic from the gallery with drag&drop but not when you use the context menu (copy/link) of the graphic.

OS: Ubuntu 16.10 64bit
