Sebastian--
In my usage, and I use Dia frequently, my artisitc/aesthetic goal is to
have all like boxes remain the same size. They do sometimes grow to
accommodate text, and I wish they did not. A toggle would be great--This
box remains this size no matter what yes/no. I like people to have options,
as I like ME to have them!
Thanks,
Jim Clark

Jim,
I understand your concern, however my use case is specific - when you
tag a piece of text to the center of the box, it automatically stays
centered with the box already. The problem is that the box doesn't
resize e.g. if you make the text larger, and it would be nice to have
some way of doing this automatically.
I would think most users who anchor text to boxes would want something
like this to happen, even if you put a label on the top or bottom of
the box. I could see a case where you might not want to do this for
the top/bottom, and even an artistic case where you might want text
not to influence the box size even when its inside the box, and for
this reason I was already thinking there would be someway to turn this
off or on by default and on a case by case basis.
Also I would not want the box to 'shrink' to the text, although I
suppose that could be another feature. I would implement that
separately. I would only want the box to 'grow' as the text became
longer.
Is there something I'm missing that is giving you cause for concern?
Regards,
Sebastian
