Reproduced with LibO 4.2.1.1 on Win7.

The .doc content is clear for WORD : one frame :
- anchored to paragraph
- "autour" (= parallel) wrap
- containing 4 paragraphs and one "text area" anchored to one of these paragraphs.

Opening this doc under LibO shows messy frames and paragraphs properties :
- 4 frames
- inexplicable page jump,
- "optimal wrap" checked but not put in application
- etc

Not tied to the nested textbox, appears also if the textbox is absent.

repro 7.6+
It looks pretty fine if I save it as DOCX.

The framePr (single textbox) was fine in OOo 3.3, but it already had that FirstParagraph-only wrap enabled. The single textbox broke in 3.4.2.
