display dialog is limited to 255 characters. It won't be truncated if you
confine yourself to 255 characters.
'choose from list' is a different story. It now seems to truncate long items
at the slightest provocation. The way around that is to add about 10 spaces
" " to your longest item. That will display all the real text plus
a "...". Make sure to include the 10 spaces when looking for result item(s).
