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"
Well that's just the point Paul. On my machine running OS 10.1.5 and
... ah! AS 1.7 according to the info box .......mmmm.... I get
"xx"
So that seems to be the answer. 1.8.3 is a heap of trash and 1.7 is
terrific except that it crashes at the slightest provocation. Take
your pick :-)
(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
Look absolutely fine using AS 1.7, so your problem is trusting
AppleScript to get better instead of the worse that history announces!
All solved :-)
