--- Comment #6 from Regina Henschel <rb.henschel at t-online.de> ---
The current custom-shape collection is designed to give good results in
exchange with binary MS Office formats. So I would not change anything in this
collection. For import and export with OOXML we use the definitions of the
OOXML standard. So I would not make changes there.

The problem is, that in case the shape has equal width and height and a regular
hexagon (or pentagon or 5-point-star or 6-point-star) at the same time, the
line of the polygon or point of the star would nor reach the edge of the shape.

You can always scale these shapes so that they become regular. Do this once and
put them into a Gallery theme. Or if you really want a custom-shape, that shows
a regular polygon on a square area, then write your own custom-shape and put it
into a Gallery theme.

I can image to add a "mathematical" theme to the Gallery, which e.g. has
parabola and hyperbole too.

If you are not stuck on a solution with "custom-shapes", we could think of
implementing the element <draw:regular-polygon> of ODF and design its UI so,
that it is easy to keep it regular.

I think, here is nothing to "fix". But it might be an enhancement request for a
Gallery theme or for <draw:regular-polygon>.
