Adding UX advise pro forma (not seeing the benefit of this behavior.. but who knows)
(In reply to Telesto from comment #2) > ...not seeing the benefit of this behavior Me neither. Text box without content but attributes set (line, background...) are not shown in the Slides panel's thumbnail. However, the text box can be empty only when it is a placeholder defined in master. You cannot easily add empty text boxes on top. The trick is to add some text, then you make the background in white, and finally remove the text. This empty box can be used to hide the background (weird workflow) and is shown in the Slides panel. So we could also resolve the issue as WFM since the "text box" is rather a placeholder. Not much benefit from having only a border on a slide.

Pretty sure it's intentional- from my experience text boxes aren't outlined anyway
It is not a text box, but a presentation object placeholder, which means an empty presentation object. It is intended, that an empty presentation object is not shown. For example https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sd/source/ui/tools/PreviewRenderer.cxx?r=d7855213#515 [Primitive2DContainer() is a container of size zero.]

Even if I add some text, change the background, and then remove the text it still doesn't show. This is the most recent version and I still have no idea Version: 7.1.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 52820b52b3bca45e2db527d1cc5f4488b2e0b9d0 CPU threads: 8; OS: Mac OS X 10.15.6; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
