Created attachment 104069 [details] shapes with textboxes Try to copy one of the shapes of the attached test file. The inner textboxes of the old and the new shapes will miss apparently, but they refers to the same textbox: pressing the Send to Back button of the Drawing Objects Properties toolbar will show the old textbox in the new copy. (The new shape has a larger z-index, than the old textshape, that is copied by reference instead of creating a new textshape.) Moving the old shape will show also the same textbox, sometimes in the vertical or horizontal positions of the new shape, too (see the attached screenshot). Workaround: saving and loading the document will really double the textbox in the incomplete copies of the complex shapes.

Hm yes, either sw::DocumentLayoutManager::CopyLayoutFmt() directly, or the caller SwFEShell::Copy() / SwFEShell::Paste() methods have to make sure that the textbox content is not copied by reference, but by value. I'll look into this.

4.3 doesn't have the TextBox feature, so no backport.
@Miklós, it works now, thanks for the quick fix!
