Many thanks for your efforts. Now I can reproduce your problem here with xfig from Debian as well as with the current upstream GIT version. In my test case opening an existing file and adding a text isn't necessary to trigger the issue. I also observed the "9.5cm" appearing somewhere at the top of the canvas (but it's not persistent). And in the popup with the dimension properties there are very large negative numbers from the beginning. > I add that I see the same problem on Debian Sid and on Suse > Tumbleweed (i.e., the other computer that I've mentioned in my > previous mail) so it's likely an upstream problem. I'll just open an issue in the upstream tracker, now that you showed me a way to reproduce this problem. Many thanks for tracking this down. Greetings Roland
