--- Comment #8 from Regina Henschel <rb.henschel at t-online.de> ---
There had been changes for styles. There has already been some fixes for
"Resize shape to fit text". But this seems to be another bug in this area.
Seems like "Resize shape to fit text" is set for pasted shape, although neither
the shape in its source document nor the default style in the target document
has this setting enabled.

You can do this:
a) Drag the drawings from your file into a (new) theme in the Gallery. That
"burns in" the styles, which means that all style settings used in the shape
where transformed to direct formatting. If you will use the shape then in a new
document, it has all needed attributes.
b) Do not use Ctrl+V, but use the item "drawing format" from the drop-list of
the paste icon. That "burns-in" the styles too.
c) Get the styles into your new document before pasting an old drawing. For
that purpose use menu Page > insert page from file. Choose the old file and
import the complete page. In case the page size is different do not adapt the
drawings. After you have done this, you will find new entries in the
Styles&Formatting pane in the sidebar. After you have transferred the styles
this way, you can delete the additional page. If you now copy a shape from your
old document, it's style exists and it is drawn correctly. Drag&Drop from old
to new will then work too. If you need this drawings often, you should consider
to start with a document template, that has the needed styles.
