Title:
  pasted web content downloads images unnecessarily

Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  If I copy web content with images and paste it into LibreOffice
  Writer, the images are downloaded so they can be displayed. This is
  understandable. What is not understandable is that they seem to be re-
  downloaded when rendering thumbnails for the print dialog or exporting
  as a PDF. On the relatively slow connection I have, this takes a
  rather large amount of time, which is rather annoying.

  I tested a 9-page document with web content (one small image per page)
  and a 9-page content with large JPGs (one image per page), and the web
  content took a significantly longer time to render/export, even though
  in pure size it was much smaller. This leads me to believe that the
  content is re-downloaded for rendering. In addition, even the document
  with the JPGs took a small amount of time to render for the print
  dialog, leading me to believe that it might be re-loading these from
  the disk (or it could merely be the time it took for the processor to
  do its thing), but this does not take nearly so long.

  It would seem that a solution would be to use the image already in
  memory for these operations, rather than downloading it a second time.
