Created attachment 93157 [details] DXF to test + PDF showing problem Steps to reproduce: 1. Import a DXF to Draw 2. Select the imported image; there is "Metafile selected" notification in status bar 3. Menu Modify->Break Expected result: All text must stay as they were. Actual result: All texts now contain only one word: "!!br0ken!!" Tested with 4.2.0.0.beta1-4.2.0.4 under Win7x64. No problem with 4.1.4.2 -> regression. Attached is a DXF to test, and a PDF showing the result in LO 4.2.0.4. Aside: the wording "!!br0ken!!" is somewhat "childish". If something goes wrong, it would be better not to use words with numbers instead of some letters, etc.
