I beleive it is not the same with all shapes. For not programmed 
shapes (the ones defined with SVG) it all depends on the shapes having 
"resize = no" or not. 

This may be useful if you decide to design some shapes.

    resize = "no"


 Because of resize = "no", theese shapes give us  freedom of sizing: 
the shape doesn't change size  when text is changed; we have to resize 
them just as we do with svg-shapes which don't have a text box.
