Description: If a drawing is copy-and-pasted from a Draw doc into a Writer doc, sometimes connector lines are "re-routed", corrupting the drawing. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the attahced "unstable.odg" 2. View->Zoom->100% (not sure this matters) 3. Click the grouped object to select it (resize handles appear) 4. Control-C 5. File->New TEXT Document 6. Click in the Writer object and Control-V Actual Results: One or more connector lines are moved, corrupting the drawing Expected Results: Pasted drawing should match original Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Note: Copy-and-paste seems to be the only usable way to embed an LO Drawing in a text document. The Insert->OLE Object mechanism adds a large amount of empty vertical space which can not be removed, making it unusable except for full-page drawings. The copy-and-paste method seems to copy just the selected drawing objects without bringing over empty space as well. The "connector" objects don't copy correctly, though.

boxes.odg is a simplified example. The bug seems related to glue-points on a rectangle edge which are connected to an outside object (with a connector) *and* have an interior line connecting to them. The gluepoints seem to be lost (or moved to the corner of the rectangle) when the drawing is pasted into a Writer document. STEPS: 1. Open boxes.odg in Draw 2. Control-A to select everything, then Control-C to copy 3. File->New->Text Document 4. Control-V to paste into the text doc Note that the connectors moved to the corners of the rectangle, and attempting to re-position the connectors (after "Enter Group") fails as if the glue-points are no longer there.

I remember a similar issue so this might be a duplicate of an issue already reported
