After some math, it turns out, that "fits into the passed Rect" is not 
possible in all cases, if we want to keep rotation and shear angle.
With 'width' and 'height' of the passed rectangle and 'rot' the rotation 
angle of the custom shape, a suitable logical rectangle does not exists, 
if 'rot' is between arctan(width/height) and arctan(height/width).

Keeping rotation and shear angle is needed in case of 
SetVerticalWriting() and Undo(). For FitToCellSize() the current 
behavior is questionable for other kind of rotated shapes too and 
specification of the desired behavior is needed.

So my suggestion would be now, to keep SdrObjCustomShape::SetSnapRect() 
to use the passed rectangle as logical rectangle and change all callers 
so, that they pass a suitable rectangle.

Kind regards
Regina
