Example of vector graphics not displaying connectors anymore in Write. After saving appears the vector art from LibreOffice Draw) are converted to a picture and information is lost.
Problem description:
A drawing created in LibreOffice Draw, copied into LibreOffice Writer 4.0.0.3 (or similar version), does not properly display the drawing (in Writer) after saving, closing and re-opening the LibreOffice Writer document. Appears to be affecting connectors, textboxes and arrows. After saving appears the vector art from LibreOffice Draw) are converted to a picture and information is lost.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create drawing in LibreOffice Draw (used vector graphics). Add connectors (connected to other shapes), textboxes and arrows since it appears to affect connectors, arrows, textboxes most often but may not be limited to only these objects.
2. Copy drawing into LibreOffice Writer.
3. Centered drawing in Writer and changed anchor to "As Character" and added some text above and below like a typical figure in text document.
4. Can close the LibreOffice Draw drawing document now (save the drawing just to be able to repeat steps later if neccessary).
5. Save & close the LibreOffice Writer document with the text and drawing.
6. Re-open LibreOffice Writer document with text and drawing.
7. Inpect the drawing for missing vectors or objects.
Current behavior:
After saving and re-opening a Writer document with vector drawings done in LibreOffice draw, the drawing is missing some vector art when the Writer document is re-opened. Eg. drawing or graphic is not displayed properly (missing vectors such as connectors, arrows and textboxes). After saving appears the vector art from LibreOffice Draw) are converted to a picture and information is lost.
Expected behavior:
Expecting the drawing in Writer to save and display properly when re-opened in Writer (with all vectors and art showing properly).
