The method I tried was to draw a new shape with the same bounds, get the
entire path of path 1 of it, delete it, and use the value to set the entire
path of the original item. Unfortunately it doesn't work properly because ID
does crazy things if you try to set all the properties of a path point in a
single command. It's a pity, and I still think this behavior is near enough
to being a bug.
