Greetings, Baddesleyvia dia-list! > I have recently started using Dia and I like it a lot (I’ve used Visio in > the past), but it does seem to have a lot of bugs.

As has been said, this means you have an item at the given coordinates, that Dia is positioning to. > 2.

This seems to be unrelated to Dia itself, try checking your desktop manager configuration/update drivers/reduce acceleration by a notch. > 3. Why can I not set and save a default location for files – I don’t want > them saved in Dia or Windows directories. Aside from setting default working directory for a shortcut, you can add Dia template file to the Explorer templates, and create new files before starting Dia. > 4. Also, why can I not change the default text font or size? It is annoying > to have to change this every time I add text, as the default is far too big! Tck. You definitely can. Ask how, instead of complaining that you can't. > 5. Why can’t I scroll ‘off screen’ Panning work area is done with middle mouse button. Also there's a minimap locator at the bottom-right of the work area. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Monday, October 15, 2018 11:26:30 Sorry for my terrible english... _______________________________________________ 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
