It is a Draw shape. Just the nature of the edit shell for the draw shape.
(In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #3) > It is a Draw shape. Just the nature of the edit shell for the draw shape. Extending my inquiry - technically outside of the scope of the bug.. but before I create another one: So what's called a textbox in MSO being a Text Frame in Writer?. Or at least LibreOffice converts an MSO textbox into a frame. And textbox of LibreOffice being converted into a frame on export to DOC/DOCX. Seems quite an exercise. Is there are reason why LibreOffice kind of promoting textbox in shape form. What's advantage/ idea behind that? And the frame having kind of behaving the preferred way (in my perception). Yes, LibreOffice frames can hold anchors.. A textbox can't.. And MSO can't handle anchors inside frames.. It's that the logic for liking textbox in shape form? Else kind of inclined to make an Interactive frame (also) TextBox. But well TextBox being used for years, it would mean renaming 'Textbox" to "Shape Textbox". And Adding "Frame Textbox". And 'hiding the 'Shape Textbox' insert shape. That interactive frame equals Textbox. Where Interactive frame rather buried in the GUI, kind of odd from end-user perspective. I think the end-user would "expect" a Frame Textbox (based on behavior). But well.. someone will point out this being a bad idea, right?
