Hi Barth,

I've played a bit with the new dimensions dialog for circles and I have some comments:
1) (Unrelated but probably easy to fix) I find it hard to draw circles right because instead of behaving as other objects where your first click marks the upper left corner of the bounding box, it marks the center. I'm always surprised and I'd much prefer 1st click = upper left corner, release = lower right corner. Plus it would be more consistent.
2) If you do RMB->Edit a non-modal dialog opens but the contents are not updated when you change the circle. We'd need a signal/slot connection to keep the dialog up to date when changing the object in layout mode.
3) The non-modal dialog tends to disappear behind the main window, but if you redo RMB->Edit to bring it back you get a new dialog, and it does not display the "Lock Position to Data" entry. We should rather bring the existing dialog back to the front of the screen.
4) The labels for the various items are not readable (I think it's a comma with an underline accross, but I'm not even sure!?!). 
5) I think it's already parts of your plans, but we should allow the coordinates to be data coordinates when locked to data and plot coordinates otherwise, with a label changing in the dialog to make it clear what's expected.

I hope you can implement the above to polish the new dialogs and the *excellent* lock to data feature before we realease a shining 2.0.5!
I can take care of points 1) and 4) if you wish. For the others, I think you'll be much faster.

Thanks,

Nicolas
