To say that, you need to refute my claim that this is the natural, and
user-expected, behavior of text typed into a shape object. Otherwise - the
current behavior is a bug, not an enhancement, and the utility of fixing it is
that shapes would behave as expected and they should.

Wwhen the user chooses to have a rectangular text area, that would be perfectly
interoperable; and MSO files will open just fine in LO. Beyond this - you're
essentially arguing we should not ever improve the feature set and behaviors
supported in out document formats beyond what MSO offers, because doing that
means hurting exchange/interoperability.

Indeed, implementing this would require a non-trivial amount of developer
effort, it is not a minor tweak.
