Applixware 4.4.1 on RH 5.1, all Applix errata patches applied.

A grahics document contains embedded TIFF images, inserted by
Insert -> Object from file -> Other.
The images are originally 512x512 pixel large.

Using the Format -> Objects -> Applix Graphics dialog the images 
are scaled up by about 650 times, preserving the aspect ratio.

Then some images are cropped by manually setting the Height and Y
fields in the same dialog and by modifying the bounding box size around
the image. The result looks perfect on the screen.
(It is done in order to align parts of adjacent images to each other.)

However, when the document is printed (PostScript), the cropping is
not done, the entire image is printed in every case. The Y offset is
applied, though, which results in overlapping and misaligned full-size 
square images instead of the aligned, smaller rectangular cropped 
images as seen on the screen.

A single A4 page document exhibiting the erroneous behaviour is
available if needed.

The only workaround so far is to modify the images before insertion so 
that they will be properly sized and aligned when they are inserted in 
their entire size.

By the way, is there a bug-report address ?
