Am I missing something or does answer really not handle strings with more than about 45 characters without chopping?

Am trying to display a path to a file and thus don't want to "artificially" break it down so that a dialog can display it - after all, it should resize itself to accomodate such strings!

What do you do in cases like this?

TIA,
Kai

I've had lots of answer dialogs lately randomly clipping text here and there. The strangest is that several answer calls with the same string will produce different text warping each time...

That has been much documented in the quality center 4766, 4837, 4607. This goes from version 2.8 till beta 6.

This was marked as fixed for the current beta (beta 6, released yesterday) but it looks like it needs some more tuning.

Note that these reports do not have showing long lines of text as a priority, consider logging in to the quality center to add your comment (this forum is not closely monitored by runrev support, the quality center is).

Hi,

I posted a simple patch to solve this and a few more problems to RevOnline. User name Mark. The patch should work with Rev 2.7.5 up to and including 2.8.1, but please make a backup copy of your Rev folder before applying the patch.

Best,

Thanks Mark

Awesome - works like a charm!

Thanks for sharing!
