Ok. Whatever "makes sense" in terms of Dia. In a loose sense that means anything that has to do with appearance (layout, colours, groupings, connections, etc) in a generic way. > Why shouldn't the UML object follow the style of the Flowchart Box and > allow editing of its contents in-diagram?

This goes into the domain of usability ... the best way to edit UML content might need some more thinking, and I have not given any thought to that. My purpose here is to get that specialised properties dialog out of the way, in order to clear the way for bug fixes related to the properties dialog. But for now, I think I might be able to get my fixes in without affecting the current behaviour. If that doesn't work, the current UML properties dialog just might need a separate method of invocation instead of the current double click.
