Sometimes, if your screen is large enough, you will see the name of the diagram in the top right corner.

The different screens are called panes. They all have an individual name, Navigation Pane, Diagram Pane, ToDo Pane and Details Pane, as shown in the following table.

You can 'spawn' a panel by double-clicking on the tab. It will then show as individual window and you can put it next to another. But beware, this function does not work in the diagram window for the moment. This is believed to be an issue with GEF.

Unimplemented feature :( You can, however, "spawn" a window by double-clicking on the tab, and maximize that. Note that Bob Tarling has added code that will make this easier after .9.5

See to do list.

It's an unimplemented feature? It would be nice though wouldn't it?

See to do list.

There are several ways to easily and elegantly move diagram elements.

Select the elements you want to move. By holding down the control key you can select several.

Now hit your arrow keys. Your elements move a little with every key stroke.

If you also hold down the shift key, they move a bit faster.

Or click on the broom button, move your mouse to the diagram pane, right click and hold. Now moving your mouse side ways (or up and down) will align elements.

There also is the menu item arrange where you can align, group or nudge (move a little bit) elements.

Review the bug list first to see if it has already been posted.

If not, post the bug.

If you know how to fix it, then submit a patch.

The details pane is 'more stable' than typing in the diagram pane.
