            Bug ID: 144041
           Summary: "Edit points" tool is missing for custom shapes
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.3.0.0 alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: rb.henschel at t-online.de

If you draw a Bézier curve and export it to OOXML format, then the Bèzier curve
is exported as shape with custGeom. When you reopen the exported file, this
custGeom is imported as custom shape. Now you are no longer able to change
points of the curve.

The workaround to convert the custom shape to curve does not work in Writer and
gives not one object but two objects (outline and fill) in Draw/Impress.

This imported custom shape has in its path no references to equations or
adjustment values but only direct values. Therefore it could allow the same
handling as the "Edit Points" tool for Bézier curves.

MS Office has a "Edit Point" tool for the shapes.

My request: If a custom shape is not a preset shape and has a path with only
direct values, then provide a tool similar to the "Edit Points" toolbar to let
the user edit the points.

[Of cause a full editor for custom shape geometry would be a better, more
extensive solution.]
