Bug#297971: dia: Delete key also does not work here

[Ambrose Li]

Package: dia
Version: 0.94.0-7
Followup-For: Bug #297971


When I put a UML "actor" object on the diagram, I can type. However, not only does the delete key delete the object,

1. The backspace key does not work,
2. Neither do the arrow keys,
3. And it is not possible to use the mouse to select text inside the actor object.

It seems that I can use the mouse to position the cursor, but is unable to delete any text. If I type some text, after only a few keystrokes the text field would be filled up and no more text can be typed.

This does not occur with all kinds of objects. For example, I can type and delete text and use arrow keys on the "object", "note", and "package" objects.

For some other objects where you cannot just type text (e.g., "class" and "constraint"), the "properties" dialog will provide a text field to type the text.

Therefore, it seems that there are some but not all objects which exhibit this bug (e.g., the "actor" object). Failure to reproduce the bug might have to do with trying to reproduce the bug with the wrong kind of objects (which do not have the bug).

(Moreover, it seems that the cause of the bug is that either the in-line text editing is not working (resulting in the symptom of the "Delete" key resulting in deleting the object), or the object has failed to provide a text field in its "properties" dialog.)
