Figures created using MS Word autoshapes do not import at all in LO

The attached document has three different figures created with auto shapes. LO does not import any of the figures at all. This problem appears specific to Autoshapes in .DOCX format.

confirmed using LO 3.5.3 on Linux amd64.

Test document in LO 3.6.1.2

The bug is confirmed in LO 3.6.1.2 under Windows 7 SP1 32 bit.
The position of some shapes is VERY strange. Some of them are shown as rectangles and some of them are missed.
I've attached the PDF.

Test document in 4.1.0.0.alpha0+

The symptoms have changed since comment 2, and now this bug seems to be solved (i.e. the shapes *are* imported), still leaving us with bug 49260 (imported, but in wrong place).
Tested in Version 4.1.0.0.alpha0+ (Build ID: ca3aba4cdf766cf33b0dbbe495c9e6f57f06982)

Test document in Word 2010

The situation is much better in LibreOffice 4.1.4: the shapes are on correct places. But I see a problem with arrows: on page 5 they have incorrect direction in top figure and are not imported for bottom figure. I attach a pdf from word 2010 which shows how the document should be represented. Also, I see bug 70942.
Comment 5 Alexandr 2014-08-18 08:49:48 UTC
Still reproducible as described in the previous comment with LibreOffice 4.2.5 and 4.3.1.1 on Debian. I decrease importance of the bug, because now the situation is not so bad as in the initial description.
Comment 6 Alexandr 2015-05-24 11:34:59 UTC
Reproducible with LibreOffice 5.0.0.0beta1 on Debian.

Stripped down test document

Stripped down version to demonstrate the issues. This is likely a VML issue. When file is upgraded to OOXML, the shapes are correctly imported.

Reproducible in Version: 6.1.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)

Comment 14 Regina Henschel 2023-01-07 16:14:36 UTC
The import is still incorrect. The shapes themselves are better now, only shadow is missing. But the size and position of the text is wrong and some arrows are missing.

Tested with Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
