Sample slide (PPTX)

How to repeat:

 1. Open sample PPTX document in LibreOffice
 2. Compare with rendering in Office 365 and notice how the "Business..."
    text is too wide and how the "Enterprise..." text fails to line break
    and is too wide.

I guess this was created, not some SmartArt. Same if ungrouped. 
Never was fine, improved few times, last time in 6.1. New.
Not sure if there's a similar bug, not easy to find.

Compare the distribution of the lines

Your proposed patch #3 at https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/136819 doesn't get the distribution of lines correctly.

An existing odp-document, which has soft line breaks (Shift+Return) included in the path text, will look very different in a version with your patch. How does others judge this incompatibility?

I'm not in principle against such change, but if other agree that we should change the behavior for existing documents, then you will need to be explain the change in the release notes.

The "textButton"-shape is one of the shapes, which are available in MS binary formats too. I have not yet tested the behavior in old MS Office. Have you already tested it?

File to reproduce the crash

The attached file crashes for me with your patchset 5.

Problem in addition:
The Shift+Enter problem occurs in all types of WordArt. Why restrict it to the four "Follow Path" types?

Convert line feed to paragraph in import filter

I still think, this should be done in the import filter and not in Fontwork rendering. That way existing ODF documents will not change.
