--- Comment #1 from Regina Henschel <rb.henschel at t-online.de> ---
I confirm your observation, same for straight lines.

"Adjust to contour" means, that the text inside a _closed_ polygon or legacy
shape is broken into several lines, so that each line goes from one edge to the
opposite edge. But neither connector nor straight lines are closed and they do
not have an inner area, which could be filled with the text.

So for me the error is not, that the text disappears, but that the option
"Adjust to contour" is provided for connectors and straight lines.

I think, that the expectation is wrong. For to "follow the contour of the
connector" the attribute "adjust to contour" is not suitable. You can use the
"Fontwork" tool (.uno:FontWork) for that. It is currently not included in a
toolbar or menu. You can customize a menu or toolbar to get it. It is command
"Fontwork" in category "Format". It does not only allow "along the path", but
you can in addition determine the distance to the line, the direction and the
position of the text.
