the patch contains a test for a default form control, those which are 
generated by Ctrl+Click. That test works for me.

But there is a test missing for the usual drag-create of a form control. 
Drag-create and default-create touch different parts of the code.

My mail contains a description, what needs to be tested, see quote below.

There will be the same problem in my upcoming fix for tdf#134355. There 
I will need to drag-create a custom-shape. And I have no idea, how to 
make a drag-create in a cppunit test.

For a legacy rectangle I had used the ctor directly. But that is neither 
possible for form control nor customshape, because you need to determine 
somehow, what kind of them you want to get.

Kind regards
Regina
