--- Comment #4 from Miklos Vajna <vmiklos at collabora.com> ---
I believe this is a missing feature. PPTX (but not PPT) has the concept of
multi-column shape text, while Impress shapes can't have multiple columns. The
above commit does a best-effort conversion of shape text with multiple columns
into a table shape: if you have N columns then you get a table with a single
row and N columns. This conversion has the downside that we need to distribute
content at import time, so e.g. in the second shape of the bugdoc you have 5
paragraphs: we put 3 paragraphs to the A1 cell and 2 paragraphs to the B1 cell.

It's not like I can sit down and "fix" this: to have better presentation of
this in Impress, we would have to add a feature to have multiple columns in an
editeng text; but that was missing even before the above commit.

Adjusting keywords accordingly.
