I do not understand, why SolidMarkHandles should be removed. It works as 
it should. If it is set to TRUE, you get the 3D-Handles, and if it is 
set to FALSE, you get the flat handles. It is the same setting as the 
icon "Simple Handles" (= .uno:HandlesDraft) in Draw. You have no UI for 
it in Writer, but need a macro to change it. But why removing it?

Kind regards
