Re: [libreoffice-users] Basic macro to insert a custom shape into a page ?

So my guess that you were using the gallery was wrong. On the bright side, I did figure out how to 
access the gallery :-)

It looks like you were provided a solution with using a custom shape, another thing I have not done 
before!

Good Luck!

That makes a kind of copy&paste. I need an object newly created with the
mouse.

When you click on a shape icon in the toolbar and then click and drag
with the mouse to create the shape, then the created custom shape is on
a wrong layer. You notice in the "Drawing object properties"-toolbar,
that both "To Foreground" and "To Background" are enabled. "To
Foreground" should not be enabled, because when you create a custom
shape with the mouse, you are working already in the "Foreground". I
have a patch for it, but struggle with the unit test.

Kind regards
Regina
