--- Comment #1 from Armin Le Grand <[email protected]> ---
The setting you change applies to paragraphs, thus I suppose you have some
paragraphs in the text of that shape. You will see that the distance between
the paragraphs is adjusted as the property suggests, this works as intended.
What you might be looking for is the distance of text from the draw object,
this is usually defined for draw objects in the 'Text properties' where you
initially set the 'Adjust to contour', see 'Spacing to borders'.
As you can see, 'Spacing to borders' is grayed out when 'Adjust to contour' is
enabled what means it is not supported for that mode. This is because that mode
is intended for more complex forms as the rectangle you were choosing. Try e.g.
a donut-like shape or just an ellipse to see what this mode does and is
intended for.
What you try to do is block formatting which is better done by using a text
frame. Start with using the 'T' toolbar button usually at the bottom of the
application and drag-size it as you need it. The text frame is similar to a
rectangle, but specialized for text layouting, thus when choosing 'Text
properties' you will see that it supports 'Fit width to text' and 'Fit height
to text' what rectangles do not do. Better use that, with disabled 'Fit width
to text' (default). You can also see that 'Spacing to borders' is used and can
be changed.
>From the graphic formatting you will not loose anything - you can fill and add
lines as with the rectangle.
Maybe you choose to also take a look at the help content or tutorials on the
web. HTH!

All works as designed -> unconfirmed.
