Example of a rectangular vs shape-fitting text area
This bug is about drawing objects such as circles, ellipses, rhomboids, stars,
clouds etc.
When we type text into such a shape, the text area has a _rectangular_ shape -
which is not at all the shape of the object we are trying to fill with text.
Now, it's true that _sometimes_, a rectangular for the text area can make
sense; but generally - the text area shape should have the same shape as the
drawing object (with a margin of course, but that is already configurable).
In practice, the ask here is for this to at least be an option: For every
relevant drawing shape (e.g. not a line), the user should be able to decide
whether they want a rectangular text area or one that fits the object shape.
I would even say that the latter should be the default; but if it's at least an
option then that would already be a significant improvement.
