Package: dia Version: 0.94.0-5 Reproducing: New document. Create a UML class. Open the properties dialog, change fontsize for "normal" attributes to something other than 0.80. Save the file. (look at test file, the new value has been saved) Close the file, and reload it. Font size for "normal" for the class has been reset to 0.80.
So it seems that while the changed font size is written to disk, it isn't used when the file is reopened. Seeing this in all tested version of 0.94 as found in Debian during the last year or so. Upstream this is bug 157016: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157016 which has already been fixed. I have looked in cvs and I believe that this is the fix: http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/dia/objects/UML/class.c?r1=1.68&r2=1.69 Please consider patching the Debian package with this fix as it is a real nuisance for me. (Together with the fix for the font size weirdness applied recently (debian bug #273625), it will be much easier to use dia for my reports.)
