Problem description: Steps to reproduce: 1. Creating a textfield with some text inside 2. Saving the document in .docx 3. Reopen the document with LibreOffice Writer Current behavior: The textfield created doesnt appears anymore whereas it appears if opened with Microsoft Word 2010 Expected behavior: The textfield should appears ! Operating System: Windows 8 Version: 3.6.2.2 release
I confirmed this is still an issue for LibreOffice 4.0 on Windows 8. After saving as a docx and reopening, the text or text box is nowhere to be found. I use Microsoft Word Viewer to view the document, and then I can see the text.
Created attachment 75188 [details] does not show text field when opened in LibreOffice
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 54235 ***
So previously the entire textbox was invisible, though it was still selectable if you clicked in the right place, and that issue was resolved in 4.2, as a black border now appears its corners, though this wasnt set. But similar to before, the text inside of the textbox is still not visible and double-clicking on the textbox will show an empty text area that doesnt take up the entire area of the textbox. Note that this issue only happens when trying to open docx files saved in LO 4.0 and below.

If I round-trip the file first in Word 2003, then the textbox is visible. But still the original document shows no text in LO 6.2 master.

This works in 6.3.1.2 (x86) when I create file from scratch, but in attached file I still doesn't see text in testbox. I see the text in MsWord 2010.
Created attachment 157044 [details] .docx resaved in MSO Textbox is shown without text from original .docx and all is OK from this .docx resaved in MSO.
Oh, I made a mistake using attachment 75188 [details] , it's DOCX created in LO, irrelevant. No repro for steps from Comment 0.
