I've been noticing that 'display dialog' is truncating its messages very
frequently in OS 10.1.x (AS 1.8.x and I think also 1.7, but I'm not sure),
when the message is much less than 255 characters long. It only happens when
there are 'returns' (carriage returns) within the message. But carriage
returns (usually '& return & return &' ) occur in about 95% of my display
dialogs, and this bug seems to be happening about 33% of those. That's an
awful lot of dialogs to check.
The workaround is to add an extra space before one of these carriage
returns, although I can never be sure which location will work - I think
it's usually at the end of the string just before the last set of '& return
& return &.
This particular bug has always been around in choose from list's 'prompt'..
But I'd never seen it in 'display dialog' until the most recent version(s)
of AS. How did it creep in, and - can it be removed?
