The undo stack gets filled very fast if you type a lot.

Sounds like a good idea. Undoing each character at a time is a bother. However, I think the change should be of the entire editing of one object rather than everything edited in edit mode, since you can tab between objects without leaving edit mode. It should be possible to hack the stack when ending edit for an object to collapse all edit into a simple text change. -Lars _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list Dia-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Faq Main page at http://live.gnome.org/Dia
