[Framers] Now it's a buggy SVG IMPORT into Frame 2019 files

If it's not one thing, it's another.

I'm still on Windows 7, so I've continued importing my images into Frame
2017 as SVG files since I have no issues creating PDFs from them.

But we've JUST upgraded to Frame 2019, and now the IMPORT of SVG images
into Frame has gone screwy. In this case, the images are screenshots taken
with SnagIt, pasted into Visio where graphic callouts and a text box
containing the graphic's number is added, and exported to SVG.

When the resulting SVG is imported into FrameMaker, all the callouts and
the graphic's number MOVE, either to the right (in the case of the
callouts) or to the left (in the case of the text box containing the
graphic's number).

For now, I'm giving up on SVGs and we're just going to import Visio files,
since that doesn't appear to have any problems. I have non-proprietary
examples of the issue (as JPG images) for those interested in a look. I'm
not attaching them because I can't remember if the list software scrapes
attachments off or not. I've also posted a query in the Adobe FrameMaker
forum. I'm still debating whether to file a bug report. <sigh>.

Weekend, here I come.
