--- Comment #28 from Caolán McNamara <caol...@redhat.com> ---
I don't think the handles are really the core of the issue anyway, people want
the blue rectangle thing.

Taking the sub-case of the example in the comment #14 then at
svx/source/svdraw/svdedxv.cxx:1246 in SdrObjEditView::SdrBeginTextEdit we have
const bool bVisualizeSurroundingFrame(bTextFrame && !bFitToSize);

and in page 2 the second textbox that doesn't have the blue border has
bFitToSize set. If autofit is turned off then it gets the blue border.

Then taking the original document from comment #7 bTextFrame is false and it
doesn't get "bVisualizeSurroundingFrame" of true for that other reason.

As far as I can see, in...

commit fd069bee7e57ad529c3c0974559fd2d84ec3151a

    initial import

we also have this special

if (bTextFrame && !bFitToSize) {
...
}

handling (FWIW I seem to have very old memories of having to play "hunt for the
border")

It's not entirely clear why we have that special handling. If we wanted to
treat all these cases the same then
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/128025 would take the route-one
approach and they would all act the same.
