Comment 2 Jorendc 2013-05-22 17:39:47 UTC 
I can not reproduce this behavior using Linux Mint 15 x64 with LibreOffice 4.0.3.3 and Version: 4.2.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 66c315bcf2b78c4928d1e436d1a853f58f4cccd 

When import the image, it's imported as 1 image. Clicking on the letters result only in selecting the whole image (not all independent shapes).

Kind regards,
Joren

by "converted into path" I don't mean the text ist converted into paths one can select. I think atm you can't select anything in an imported svg file. What I meant ist that the text is not shown properly. When you have just a line of text which is not rotated, the text is shown properly (I think it is converted to real text in LO) but when the text is rotated it looks like the text is not converted into text but seperated shapes (as you can see the ugly looking letters/shapes in the attachement 79140).
Comment 4 datbug 2013-06-02 19:13:02 UTC 
actually,after inserting the svg you can right click on the image and
choose "Break". After breaking you can see that normal text is converted to a text box but rotated text is converted into seperate shapes.

Tested with the "ESIPT" text run at the top of attachment 79141 [details], reproduced the issue in LO 7.0: text is rotated when breaking, and each letter is separate.

Resolved since Noel Grandin's commit:

commit 0fb58a1ff168ae122e9c8993a3136658e3b0e3f0

new tools::Degree10 strong typedef
partly to flush some use of "long" out the codebase,
but also to make it obvious which units are being used
for angle values.
Reviewed-on: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/104548

(bibisected the fix with linux-64-7.1 repo to 4162efa7ce007dfaa161eee617f0aaf17da186f8)

Thank you Noel!
