Hi David,

This is a known problem (in AppleScript Studio) and will be addressed in a future release. It will eventually work just like the Standard Addition's version of display dialog. If you are merely presenting an alert, you should try 'display alert' as that uses the standard Mac OS X alert and allows you to have many lines of text in the message.

Thanks,

I'm wondering if I am running into a bug in Xcode, or if I just don't know
how to set something to control dialog size.

I am having a problem where all the dialogs I create in Xcode (applescript
studio) using the "display dialog" command show only 4.9 lines of text (ie
the bottom of the 4th line, and all following lines are not show).

For example, the script:

display dialog "1 Line one
2 Line two
3 Line three
4 Line four
5 Line five" buttons {"OK"} default button "OK"

works great in script editor, but the same code attached to a button in
Xcode will not show line five at all, and line 4 will have the bottoms cut
off of all the letters.

I know that Xcode has its own version of "display dialog" so that you can
make dialogs into sheets and such, but does anyone know how to control the
number of lines presented in the dialog?

I worked on this for a while, and searched the net, and I could not find
any info on the problem....
