Description Roland Stigge 2005-02-17 18:28:56 UTC 
Distribution/Version: Debian

A Debian user reported the following:

========================================================================
I have some state diagrams drawn with earlier versions of Dia (some 
version greater than the 0.88.1-3 in stable). When opening these files 
with Dia 0.94.0-4 all state boxes wider than the default width are 
shifted left. This will also break connections between boxes and lines.

I have attached an example file produced using the 0.88.1-3 version 
together with screenshots taken from that version and the 0.94.0-4 
version of Dia after opening the file. Newer Dia also reports some 
errors when opening the file.

Yes, that was the unfortunate side effect of switching to a reasonable layout system, i.e. Pango.  
Pango and old Gtk had very different ideas of how to render strings.

This is a dup of some bug, but I have not the time to find it.

There really is no reliable way to fix this, I'm afraid.
