Re: Dia locks up a lot recently,ideas?

Oops, I forgot to report back.

The re-install seems to have solved the problem, or at least reduced the occurrence rate so that I can't tell there is a problem.

It could be I was making a shortcut while doing some other activity.  That feels right - I may have been working too fast for the program and it would stumble.  I will know to think about that if it happens again.

Just happened again in the same situation:

Picked zigzag line from palette placed next to a box, then the 4 arrow move

If you are using the keyboard in parallel this could be a variation of

 I think I will try some voodoo - maybe uninstall and reinstall.

AFAIK the uninstall does not remove $(HOME)/.dia. So if the issue at hand would be related to some saved state of Dia reinstallation wont fix it.

But the basic question is: what did change recently now producing the lock up. If you only recently switched to Dia 0.97.2 the culprit might be the GTK+ update (2.24.10) in the installer. For Dia 0.97.1 installer used 2.18.5. Of course this is just speculation, at least I can not reproduce any lock up.
