Which ones do have text? > Have you tried with an actual text label? I *can* create text objects, however once created I don't seem to be able to edit them. > Which Dia version/which OS ?

If you mean have I tried F2, hitting enter and selecting from the toolbar - yes, I have tried all of them. I don't think the problem is getting into text entry mode, I do get the I-beam cursor in all cases, it's just that once I have got the I-beam nothing (useful) happens when I type. I even have an old, saved, diagram created with Dia which has text on it and I can't edit the text. -- Chris Green _______________________________________________ dia-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Faq Main page at http://live.gnome.org/Dia
