Re: Newbie: UML Class Properties window unusable on laptop

["Evan Charlton" <evancharlton gmail com>]

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).
