Before updating to version 5.6.1 please be aware of the following issue:
In version 5.6.1 we fixed some long-standing issues relating to line spacing in user-created text objects (this does not affect chart text). There were a couple of problems.
1) 3 pixels of extra leading was added to all newly created text objects. This caused lines to be spaced incorrectly. For example, using the default font size of 9 with single spacing, the line height should be 12 pixels. In previous versions, the line height was actually set to 15 pixels because of the extra 3 leading pixels.
2) Leading was being added to the first line as well as subsequent lines. This caused dead space at the start of all text objects.
These problems are illustrated in Figure 1:

We have addressed these problems. The fix for problem #2 has a side effect that you need to be aware of. As we have eliminated the leading for the first line, text objects created in previous versions of DeltaGraph will appear to have shifted upwards by 3 pixels due to the missing dead space. See Figure 2 (note the missing leading compared to Figure 1. Note that the excess leading between subsequent lines will still be there unless you manually change the spacing and then edit the object to force it to be rebuilt.

As this will affect all text objects opened in 5.6.1, this is a potentially serious issue. You may need to adjust all of your text objects to return them to the desired position after opening them in 5.6.1. If you are not prepared to do this, DO NOT UPDATE TO VERSION 5.6.1 or later updates/upgrades as they become available.
Newly created text objects will be correct. See Figure 3:

If you want your existing text objects to be truly single-spaced without the extra leading you will need to select them, then go to the Format menu, choose Text, choose the Spacing tab, and change the spacing to Single and click Apply and then OK (it's important that you hit Apply before you click OK).
