Hi Andreas,
there is yet no definite plan when we will remove the legacy shapes.
We didn't do so before because versions prior to OOo 2.x would not be
able to load such shapes. But I think support for OOo 1.x is no
longer needed.
Then we had some issues that the new custom shapes didn't support
all features of the legacy shapes. Namely shearing was an issue
that is already resolved IMHO.
Can you be a bit more precious how vertical align of text does not
work for you?. Isn't "format/text/text-anchor" what you want?
Regards,
Christian

Hi Andreas,
in OOo 2.0 we introduced the custom shapes. These shapes have an
algorithmic description of their
outline and they can be modified with handles (for example the smiley
can be made happy or sad).
On the long run we want to remove the legacy shapes as the new custom
shapes are easier to
maintain for developers as there is only one implementation for all of
them.
Is there a plan, when the old shapes will be removed?
I worked a little bit more with the new basic shapes and noticed, that there
was no option to set the vertical allign of the text inside the shape. I don't
know, if it's a big effort to create this option (particularly in the graphic
object templates dialog of the shapes).
Regards,
Andreas
