What OS are you using and/or what have you done to it? That is exactly what
I'm saying, and exactly why I wrote in. What you described as being "always
like this since OS 7" was completely different from what I described - i
didn't get up to any of those tricks of pre-setting any carriage returns in
the default answer. I thought my description was quite clear, but if need
to be clearer, please follow these instructions exactly. Do not add
anything. OK:
display dialog "Enter x, type return, enter x, click OK." default answer ""
buttons {"Thinking", "Don't Cancel", "OK"} with icon 1
set x to text returned of result
Do what it says. What's your result, and what OS/As are you using?
In OS 10.1.5, AS 1.8.3, the result is
"x
x"
(In reply to whether any changes have been made to display dialog, several
changes have occurred in X: there's a bug in that default answers are not
pre-selected, and there were several bugs to do with the prompt getting
truncated which got fixed in AS 1.8/OS 10.1.2. There's still another bug to
do with icons overrunning buttons when it's one line long, three buttons and
no default answer.)
If you want to see the other bug, run:
display dialog "A single line with 3 buttons and an icon." buttons
{"Thinking", "Don't Cancel", "OK"} with icon 1
