Summary0011327: Changing inline frame dimensions produces unexpected results
DescriptionWhen editing some inline frame and changing its dimensions, strange behaviour happens

1- during the edition, display of white area is not update after changing the dimension

2- after quitting the special editing mode, it looks like old size is still taken into account as for insertion in the main text.

3- in such situations, the inline frame can be brought partly across the border of the containing frame (as in uploaded documents)

3- after reentereing edit mode, white area covers real new dimensions (but 2- still happens later after quitting again special edit mode)
Tagsinline, special edit mode, text

Have fixed now all issues except for Isssue 1. And i'm not sure if i should fix it, as it can be seen as a reminder for the original size of the inline frame.

There is a special reason for wanting to remember orginal size, related to a special difficulty in setting an inline frame's size : it is not edited in its context, and it is not easy to see if size is correct : it has to be changed first, then exit special edit mode, see it has correct size, reenter special edit mode in case not, change a little bit the size, again check, maybe again improve the size, etc, which is not handy.

So, displaying the white original size rectangle, as is now in special edit mode, provides a little help.
However, it is not consistant with other frame edit feedbacks, and it is not enough to be able to edit size well at first try.

Better would be to *not* to have to use this special edit mode to edit an inline frame or at least : not for just editing its size. It would require being able to select the inline frame in its text context, and then edit it at least with the PP, or with the mouse as with other frames.

An other not so good alternative would be to take a static capture of the screen of the context of the inline frame when receiving a request to special-edit it, and displaying this capture as a background in the special edit mode, instead of the greyish background. But it seems that this background image would then need to be scrolled when inlineframe's dimension would be changed, which might make this alternative solution more heavy (to code and use).
