            Bug ID: 119142
           Summary: FILEOPEN DOCX: MS text boxes imported as frames when
                    solo, and as LO text boxes when grouped
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.5.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
There seems to be a bug in MS word that breaks LO when opening docx files.

MS Text boxes are imported as LO frames, which is good because styles are
preserved.

If the MS text boxes are grouped, then LO imports them as LO text boxes, with
no style preservation.

It must relate to an MS bug because if in MS Word I copy and paste multiple
ungrouped MS text boxes, the style is not preserved!

Copy paste already grouped MS text boxes preserves the styles.

I am attaching a docx file with examples of text boxes, solo and grouped.

ps. dont tell me to go and tell MS to fix their software. I would rather have
LO give an option to convert all textboxes to frames even if they are grouped.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.with word create 3 text boxes with styles ike title and heading
2.group 2 of the boxes together and leave the other alone
3.open the file in LO

Actual Results:
no formatting in the text boxes that were grouped in MS Word

Expected Results:
Styles to be preserved even of text boxes are grouped.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No


OpenGL enabled: Yes
