Description Hossein 2023-06-25 23:47:51 UTC 
Description:
LibreOffice Writer does not count the text inside text boxes. In the possible implementation, it would be good to make it optional as described in tdf#99189. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open LibreOffice writer
2. Add a text box using "Insert > Text Box"
3. Enter some text in the text box

Actual Results:
Word count in the status bar is all zero (words / characters). Also in "File > Properties > Statistics", everything (except number of pages) is zero.

Expected Results:
Word count should also consider the text boxes in the document


Reproducible: Always
