Writer has reformatted tables with images after update.

Hi
I don't know if this issue is a bug or a new way of doing things in Writer.
If it is a bug I believe it is related to https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140408

I have many documents created over the last few years and regularly edited with tables containing hundreds of images, one per cell. The images were inserted into the tables by drag and drop and automatically anchored to paragraph and the table row expanded height to accommodate the image.

Now (at lease since LO 7.0) if I open these documents the table rows have shrunk behind the images and the images all overlap each other and rows below.
I resolve this by changing the image to anchor "as character" and the paragraph to "Centred" and the table row expands to appear as it did previously.

If this is a major chore to fix so if it is a bug I will hope it is resolved before I need to edit too many documents. Just opening a document to fix a typo means redoing all the images in tables in that document. If it is a change to the way Writer is going to handle images in tables, I will just have to live with fixing these up as I edit the documents.

Thanks, steve
