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 Edubuntu Bugsquad, 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dia/+bug/1011446/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~edubuntu-bugs Post to : edubuntu-bugs@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~edubuntu-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
