If you place an image inline that is larger than the text frame, you will overflow the entire story.

I'll use an example of a long book with frames of equal size. If I place inline an image that is larger than the current frame, Publisher will move to frame +1. If it doesn't fit there, it will move to frame +2, etc. Finally it will overflow the final frame in the story.

But I'm still on page 17 and the image didn't appear, and all the text below the cursor has disappeared. I have to scroll to the end of the story on page 53 where I can click the show overflow icon to see the image. Only then can I scale the image so that it fits in the frame. When I let go of the size handle the image disappears because now it's back on page 17 so then I have to scroll back to find it.

I think it would be better when placing an inline image to scale it to fit the current frame if it doesn't fit that frame or any future one in the story. This would leave the user with something they can deal with and they won't have to hunt for the hidden picture.

This happens to me regularly with my current project which has large inline images in narrow frames. I'm posting this here because I know it's an enhancement request, but to the user it really feels like a bug.

Thanks
