I proceed as follows:

> Create a text document (RTF) in Libre Office and save it for re-use.

> Open a DraftSight (DS) drawing.

> Insert the document into DS from file without linking and without “display as icon” set.

My expectations:

Without “display as icon” set I expect to see a copy of my document displayed within DS.

With it set I expect to see just the icon in my drawing that allows the original document to be opened.

Without linking set I expect the copy of my document in the drawing to NOT change after it was first displayed in the drawing even if I later changed the original.

With linking set I expect the copy of my document in the drawing to update after any change I later make to the original.

Instead, I see just an icon that links to the document externally no matter what combination of “linking” and “display icon” settings I use.

This appears to be a long-standing problem.  When will it be fixed?
