Description Buovjaga 2025-01-06 14:04:21 UTC 
After commit f40dc496a511ae06a308dd0859bc3aad28a8ec7e
Resolves tdf#163856 - Disentangle boundaries options

...Draw no longer displays the light gray box indicating margins. It could be useful to see it sometimes, so I propose to add it either to View menu or Tools - Options - Draw - View.

Confirmed in dev chat by multiple people.

I cannot follow what is missing for Draw. Please add some STR.

See the gray outline and how it matches the margin representation in the rulers: https://imgur.com/gallery/frame-around-pdf-content-vKQzn7M

From skimming your code changes, I guess it has to do with the svtools::OBJECTBOUNDARIES / svtools::DOCBOUNDARIES changes in sd.

Fixed with https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/179995

The patch introduces the expert option Draw::Misc::TextObject::ShowBoundary with default true that allows to disable the margins (similar to Impress::Misc::TextObject::ShowBoundary for the dashed outline around text boxes).
