I am not at all clear on what this enhancement request is proposing. The original AskLO thread indicated in comment #1 was asking about linking text frames (in Writer I might add) in such a way that content is *duplicated*. Thus given two linked frames A and B, what is entered in frame A appears automatically in frame B.

This appears to be the nature of this bug, but in relation to Draw. Given that linkable frames cannot even be entered into Draw (no Insert > Frame... menu item) under v4.0.3.3 the request would appear to first be that of having Draw support frames. If this is the nature of this enhancement I think it needs to be clarified.

The reference to Scribus frame linking in comment #1 is a different feature. The Scribus-type of frame linking is essentially a *continuation* feature, whereby once frame A is filled, content then flows into frame B. This is the same feature as currently available for Writer.

It would be good if a clearer description of exactly what is being proposed could be provided for this request.

Sorry, in my previous comment the first of my two references to comment #1 should actually read "Description" which is where the reference to the AskLO thread is made.
