Left and right curly braces are no PNG graphics but true shapes. Only 
'Insert' from the context menu in the Gallery inserts it as image. If 
you drag&drop it from the Gallery to your document you get it as shape 
with editable text.

"Writer Gallery"
The Gallery is not specific to a module, but common to all modules.

 Both have the word "Callout" ("attached
> descriptive text") drawn within the bitmap image, not editable text.

See above. It seems the difference needs to be added to "Inserting 
Objects From the Gallery" to the help.

F2 is one of the method to set a shape into edit mode. It is a tool on 
the already inserted shape, not a tool of the Gallery.
Double-click is the other method to set a shape into edit mode.

But it would indeed be good to have "Edit shape text" in the context 
menu. Neither F2 nor double-click is known to users, which come from MS 
Office. There it is single-click on the text or 'Edit text' in the 
context menu.

It is the same kind of shape in the Gallery and in the toolbar. Only 
that the Gallery gives a hint to the user, that it is possible to add 
text to the shape.

Kind regards,
