Re: Newbie: UML Class Properties window unusable on laptop



Kevin,

As a workaround, you could press Alt then click/drag anywhere in the
window. This will allow you to drag the window from anywhere so that
you can move it above the top panel. This isn't specific to Dia; it's
a Gnome feature (though it's included in most WMs).

Steffen, thanks for helping. Yes, I'm using 0.96.1, from the Ubuntu distribution. I've installed programs 
from source before, but I was hoping for a quick fix. I'll see if I can tackle this in the next couple of 
days.

Thanks, again.

Hi Kevin,

I assume that you are using Dia 0.96.1. The next version of Dia (0.97)
will provide a much smaller UML class dialog.

If you want, you can test the new version. It's currently only
available from the SVN repository (you'll have to compile
it yourself).

Regards,

Steffen

I'm new to Dia and trying to create my first UML Class diagrams. When I created my first class and tried 
to edit the properties, I may have maximized the window as it was displayed on my 1024 x 768 laptop's 
screen. Now, the Properties window extends from the bottom of the top tool bar to below the bottom panel, 
which puts the buttons on the bottom of the window below the edge of the screen. I can't shrink the window 
from the top, and can't push the window up above the top panel to reach the bottom. The only way I can 
access the buttons on the bottom is to make the bottom panel auto-hide, and I can then see one or two 
pixels of the buttons and can hit them.

Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong here, and how to correct it?
