This could be a problem in some cases, but not all. You have a patch on it, but you didn't want to apply it.

It will need to be changed somewhat (specifically, TextOut) to use the TextLine system, which can give it the appropriate text width to use. If that doesn't get implemented, you are pretty much guaranteed to have over-/underflowing text boxes. -Lars _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Faq Main page at http://live.gnome.org/Dia
