I am still having the same issue with Ubuntu 13.10, Gnome Desktop and Dia 0.97.2. I have fixed it by editing the start script /usr/bin/dia to have the LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 before the dia launch. /usr/bin/dia is now as follows:
#!/bin/sh # # Wrapped that calls dia in integrated version # LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 dia-normal --integrated "$@" This fixes the issue with the comment boxes as far as I can tell and still allows launching by calling dia from Alt+F2 or terminal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to dia in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1011446 Title: UML drawing tools' comment fields are too small to be usable Status in “dia” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Start dia, pull up the UML diagram items, create a class. Note that the comment on the main class window is a bit short - it's still usable, but it's definately short. The comment field on the attributes tab is 1-3 pixels tall. Same for both comment-fields in the Operations tab.
