How to copy text from shape to body text in a unit test

[Joao S. O. Bueno]

A slight unrelated comment, by a luker on the project:

Really thank you for taking your time to write tests for behaviors
like these. As you know, these complex iterations have tons
of edge cases, and that usually bytes users at the worst moments,
and it has been so in all wysiwyg apps ever written - these will sure
make L.O. a more predictable, and nice to use, tool.
