Insert Bitmap Image, can't change object width or height

[BrettCA]

I am able to insert PNG images into a Techdraw page with the default width and height of 100 units and adjust the scale of the image without any difficulty. However, I don't seem to be able to adjust the width and height of the image object.

I can alter the width and height values in the Combo View and the new entries seem to be accepted in those fields; 200, 300, whatever I put in, there is no error in the Python console and I know a recompute is being performed, but there is no change in the size of the image object on the page. It doesn't budge from 100 x 100. Hitting the recompute button also has no effect. Entering values via the Python console also produces no effect.

I know this has worked in prior builds of v0.19 but not sure how far back.

Thanks,
Brett

Please add a simple file showing the issue.

Confirmed. There is indeed a regression here. Works in V0.18, not in V0.20.

Roy_043 - thanks for confirming I am not losing my marbles I'll dig up an old release to get through my current task.

chris_b - the problem doesn't seem to be specific to a file. I created a few new blank FCStd files with blank TechDraw templates and tried a few different PNG images with consistent results. Would you need me to attach one of the images I am using as well, for your test to be valid?

Based on this git commit 24139bf I wouldn't expect width and height to still be available unless it was to stop errors loading old files Width and Height are just for the Crop function in the View tab. So if I load a JPG at 465 x 511 it loads at the correct size (but still showing 100x100 in the Data tab) on 0.19.1 with my config files. I'll see if I can find an old thread around that time that might explain the thinking around it.

Submitted a PR to fix a minor bug when changing Crop from True to False https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/4724 and mentioned possible backport to 0.19 Release branch.
