I second that. For me the zooming and moving is the most annoying thing
on Dia, at least on Windows (zooming, scrolling and panning it is too
rude; combined to the fact that the drawing sheet is not physically
delimited, I quickly lose the diagram and have difficulties in
finding it and bring it back to the working space, at the desired size).
Maybe GTK's issue, maybe Dia's, I don't know, but the fact remains.

Otherwise I find Dia very promising, sometimes it's exciting to use,
I even contributed recently with the Romanian translation to it (not
completed, but still undergoing).
