The only thing I can promise it that I wont try to fix something that I 
dont understand.
I have a lot of Dia versions readily available for testing, but I simply 
cant imaginge where you have seen the button you are talking about. Maybe 
you had a custom script or plug-in providing all the "facility to size the 
page to selection"?
Also I'm not interested at all in screenshots, so please dont bother to 
create these. Especially not from something which was never part of an 
official Dia version. Screenshots wont help you to get the feature back. 
Finding the source of that feature might.
