Summary: EDITING: Polygon objects are not able to manage text
anymore
Severity: normal

A draw file containing two text-filled polygon objects
Problem description: In OpenOffice draw module (4.1.1), as in all previous
version, you can use a polygon object to obtain to create a text that fill an
arbitrary shape, and it is then easy to modify the polygon shape with the text
that adapts to it dinamically. In LibreOffice 4.3.2 this is not working
anymore: the same polygon object filled with text looks completely empty at
first, however the text is there because if you double click on the object,
then press crtl+A to select all then copy and paste in a text doc, you get the
hidden text.
I have many files created with OO draw in the past with a large use of polygon
objects to manage text in flexible shapes, and they are completely unusable now
with LO.
I am not sure since which release of LO this regression is present, since I
have not used these files in the last year.
Steps to reproduce:
1. open the attached file in Openoffice, any release (or older LO releases,
results may vary with these). The page contains two polygon objects filled
with text that adapts to the polygon shape. The only difference is that the
right one does not have a background nor a contour line. Text is visible, try
editing the polygon points and see the text adapting to the changes.
2. Now open the same file with LO 4.3.2; you see no text at all, and the object
on the right is invisible since it should show only the contained text. If you
edit the polygon shapes, nothing happens to the text that remains invisible.
3. you can also create a new polygon and insert some text (a few paragraphs),
which at first will be visible but exceed the polygon shape; when you set it to
adapt to the contour, the text disappears.
Besides the problems with already existing files that are unusable (fortunately
they are not corrupted, if you save them with LO and then reopen them with OO
the text is there), I could not find another way to obtain the same results
without using polygon objects in Draw.
