I too can confirm this bug with dia-gnome 0.97.2-5 on Ubuntu 12.04.3 (amd64).
I did however find another workaround - from http://osdir.com/ml/dia- list/2013-09/msg00034.html - whereby starting Dia with an environmental variable set to disable Ubuntu's overlay scrollbar does seem to stop the unwanted behaviour. Therefore it would appear to me that this bug could well be down to an incompatibility between Dia and the aforementioned overlay scrollbar ('overlay-scrollbar'?). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, 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 Status in “dia” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Start dia, pull up the UML diagram items, create a class. Note that the comment on the main class window is a bit short - it's still usable, but it's definately short. The comment field on the attributes tab is 1-3 pixels tall. Same for both comment-fields in the Operations tab.
