OLE_E_INVALIDRECT
OLE_E_INVALIDRECT: diagnose the owning boundary
OLE_E_INVALIDRECT (0x8004000D) is documented as Invalid rectangle. Treat that wording as the specific OLE rectangle/layout validation boundary; it is more useful than a generic “component failed” label.
Evidence that matters
Record the rectangle coordinates, container/object extent, mapping mode and call that rejected them. Correct the invalid geometry before retrying the same OLE operation.
Interpretation and verification
Keep the affected object and caller identity stable while changing only the rejected prerequisite. The correction is proven when the original operation crosses this boundary with the intended state or output. If a different HRESULT appears afterward, preserve it as a separate later-stage result rather than folding it back into OLE_E_INVALIDRECT.
