Bug Description

Binary package hint: dia

UNDO doesn't un-do those changes which are side effects to your actions. E.g. when you write a text into a box and it widens,
UNDO doesn't resize the box to it's original size again.

How to reproduce:
1. insert a standard box/circle element
2. Resize it to your perfect size
3. Type some text into it, until it widens to fit the text
4. UNDO

See? The Text vanishes, but the box stays malformed / too big.

You can try this:
5. UNDO again, so the box vanishes too
6. REDO. The box is created again.
Now the box has the BIG size, not the intended, original one.

Same when you try to make a circle smaller, and as a side effect it get's taller to fit the text.

Marius, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. When one inputs text inside a box, the box does not fit to size. Hence, this is unreproducible.
