Created attachment 176093 [details] Sample PPTX slide This originally stems from SmartArt, but shows even saved from current Office 365 which usually should represent things reasonably? Opening the sample document in Impress, note how the text in the four leafs, or quadrants, is too low and runs into the center piece, or too high and runs into the center piece.

There are two, perhaps somewhat relevant changes in 4.3 that affected this in LO. Before the commits below, it can be seen that there was some attempt for the texts to avoid the central element, even if it didn't work out well. https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=e3e12b1d1e36e1a0d4fc4c6423b584d677693897 author Muthu Subramanian <sumuthu@collabora.com> 2014-03-26 16:05:44 +0530 committer Muthu Subramanian <sumuthu@collabora.com> 2014-03-27 13:27:28 +0530 "n#862510: Fix text rotation." https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=c17eb67460293fbe72ffa8e80cd10743df493afa author Muthu Subramanian <sumuthu@collabora.com> 2014-03-26 16:13:08 +0530 committer Muthu Subramanian <sumuthu@collabora.com> 2014-03-27 13:27:28 +0530 "n#862510: anchorCtr controls the anchoring as well."

It seems this is another one, where the <txXfrm> element is not evaluated. I will have a look.

This SmartArt uses shapes of type 'round1Rect'. Those were not included in my previous patch. I have added it just. So you need to wait for testing until that is included in the daily, likely tomorrow.
Created attachment 181399 [details] Screenshot with 2022-07-25 daily build With today's daily build this shows pretty much like the PowerPoint screenshot from attachment #176094 [details]. Thank you, Regina! (There is a minor difference in the lower right quadrant, where the text box touches the center box, when it does not in PowerPoint. That may be due to font or some padding somewhere?)

Marking as VERIFIED, which I missed doing with comment #9.
