Re: Loses diagram when I zoom in

[Michael Ross <michael e ross gmail com>]

Well, mine is still a good program.  Why would you even say that?  You are just having a problem, probably not Dia.  It is a very dependable program.

Your description is not very helpful.  No way to reproduce it from what you have said. Perhaps you can put  copy of the messed up Dia somewhere that people can check it out?

I think you should look at the Page Setup scale factor.  If zoom all doesn't work then you may have a small item placed far far away (my bet is on something like this). You may have a layer's  visibility  turned off.  No idea about scroll bars.  I would try a re-install.  I had an issue that made no sense once and that fixed it.

Are you running the official release?  Or are you trying a beta version?  Can you make the problem reoccur?  What OS are you using?  Give us something to go on.

I have a diagram that I created after zooming in so that I created it
on an approximately full size A4 page in landscape mode.  I.e. I
started by zooming in so that one page was most of what I could see in
the dia window.

I created a diagram on the screen like this and saved it.

When I open this diagram now it seems to open in a completely
unscaleable and rather useless format.  It opens in a small window
that shows just the one page in landscape mode and says 'Zoom 1%'
which is complete rubbish.  The scroll bars don't work at all and
I can't zoom in at all.  In general whatever I do I end up with a
totally black window.

What on earth is going on?  Dia used to be a good program.
