Open Dia → Settings → Patches and switch on Keep Windows Active. Or run:
diatweaks enable keepWindowsActiveThis tweak is experimental. Every Dia window looks focused while it's on, so the look no longer tells you which one gets your typing, and focus rings can show in windows you aren't typing in. Settings and other small panels aren't affected.
