So my guess that you were using the gallery was wrong. On the bright side, I did figure out how to access the gallery :-)
It looks like you were provided a solution with using a custom shape, another thing I have not done before! Good Luck!

I need an object newly created with the mouse. When you click on a shape icon in the toolbar and then click and drag with the mouse to create the shape, then the created custom shape is on a wrong layer. You notice in the "Drawing object properties"-toolbar, that both "To Foreground" and "To Background" are enabled. "To Foreground" should not be enabled, because when you create a custom shape with the mouse, you are working already in the "Foreground". I have a patch for it, but struggle with the unit test.
