Steps to reproduce: In Impress: Draw a right arrow or a rectangle (perhaps any shape will do). save as odp. close. load the file. edit the text stop text editing with [escape] or click onto the side of the object. The object is turned into a text field now. Other way: In Impress: Draw a right arrow or a rectangle (perhaps any shape will do). save as odp. close. load the file. change the fill color of the shape. The shape is gone bug was not there in 3.5.4.2!
Confirmed with 3.7.0.0-Alpha on Ubuntu 12.04 x86_64. This is a regression. Bug is there for objects in Impress, Draw and Writer.
When you save the file afterwards. Then close it and open it again then the shape is visible again and changed.
Bug seems to be caused indirectly. it disappeared shortly but comes back. bug present at f9735c65aaad195c1e6a4586d173ee30ad08e685 bug not present at ddd44eb48fa03ea36fe32a3f7c9023828c1e449c. bug not present at f9735c65aaad195c1e6a4586d173ee30ad08e685 bug present at 1444a0de4414a6d01a8c23986f58229361c57f84 => Mandelbug
Looks like another side effect of the custom shape performance improvements in svx/source/svdraw/svdoashp.cxx.
It can be shown again by dropping an other object on it at different positions. => DOES it be a gfx update problem?
