The <shift> key is not to blame -- the same thing happens if the object is
simply moved.  It looks like several lines that are connected to that
object have wrong coordinates in the save file.  Is the save file generated
by Dia, or some other tool?  Looks like it's created by Dia, so why are
they misplaced?  That's rather curious.

I don't mind the cyrillics, I think it's nifty that we can do all manner of
languages now.
