If you want to see "Drawing objects" in the navigator, you may name these objects. Right-clic > Name.

Don't remember, but i think it is the same in OpenOffice.

Indeed you need to name the draw objects to make them appear here. This would be an enhancement to have them shown here.

Thanks about Name. I do not know about this.

[This is an automated message.]
This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1

Comment 5 sasha.libreoffice 2012-01-02 02:41:26 UTC
reproduced in LibO 3.5.0 beta 1
Comment 6 Roman Eisele 2012-05-04 07:40:56 UTC
This is a general UI issue, right? Therefore changed 'Component' field accordingly.
Comment 7 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2013-03-28 09:49:59 UTC
In Draw Navigator shows all draw objects, even any simple line, if you enable 'Show Shapes -> All Shapes'. This problem does not exist there.

Bu I can confirm the problem for Writer and Calc, there always exists an item "Draw Objects", where I even can select a 'Drag Mode', but that's useful for nothing if there are no shapes listed. 

So I consider this one a bug.

That never worked in LibO or OOo, see "AOOo#17444 - unnamed objects in navigator"

May be we simply need in heading of Navigator the icon 'Show Shapes -> All Shapes' as we have it in Draw / Impress?

@Thorsten:
Can you please rate the easyhack proposal? I had to learn that many issues related to inherited Draw code are not as simple as they might look.
Comment 8 Jean-Francois Nifenecker 2014-02-22 17:27:44 UTC
This problem seems to come from the fact that drawing objects added in Writer are not named by default. Naming them as "Drawing 1", "Drawing 2", etc. by default could probably help.
Comment 9 Joel Madero 2014-02-27 23:22:27 UTC
In order to limit the confusion between ProposedEasyHack and EasyHack and to make queries much easier we are changing ProposedEasyHack to NeedsDevEval.

Thank you and apologies for the noise
