+Subject: [PATCH] avoid loss of text in edited placeholder
+
+How to reproduce:
+1. Create an empty presentation.
+2. Save it.
+3. Click at one of the text placeholders and write something.
+4. Save again.
+5. Reload. The placeholder is missing. (Actually, it's still there, but
+   empty and 0-size.)
+
+This only happens if a11y is enabled.
+
