LibreOffice version: 5.3.1.2 Linux Distro: openSUSE Tumbleweed In LibeOffice Draw, text in text boxes can't be made columnar. I'd like to put multi-column text in a text box, but it's not possible.

Created attachment 132480 [details] Text box with text that cannot be split across three columns I have attached a sample Draw document that includes a text box that whose contents I would like to split across three columns, but I cannot.
Created attachment 132481 [details] Actual document showing workarounds needed Here's another attachment showing the workarounds needed due to the lack of this feature: In one case, I split the columnar text across multiple separate text boxes, and in another case, I jammed everything into a single text box using spaces and tabs. Both workarounds are pretty ugly.
