I'm sure somebody will want to set different fonts or styles for particularly important classes. The Class object is somewhat broken (it's a very complex object, and nobody really likes fiddling with it), it should allow defaults and setting all objects in a group. > When drawing the class, it should get the font metrics and actally work > out how much space it really needs rather than making the class box so > huge!!

I bet some Java programmer did that:) That kind of change should not happen without a version update on the save file and conversion. Bad Cyrille!
