MVCUIManager>>#confirm: does not automatically wrap long text -- but Morphic does

[tcj]

As usual, a #confirm: with embedded newlines:

self confirm: 'We respect your privacy. To minimize your receipt 
of duplicate information and for internal recordkeeping purposes, 
Squeak may track responses, if any, to this offer. Read more about 
Squeak''s privacy policy.'

in MVC, becomes:

while without the embedded newlines:

self confirm: 'We respect your privacy. To minimize your receipt of duplicate information and for internal recordkeeping purposes, Squeak may track responses, if any, to this offer. Read more about Squeak''s privacy policy.'

becomes in MVC:

This is probably very standard behavior... but note that it becomes a problem w/r/t the (very cool btw :) ) welcome text in Utilities class>>#setAuthorInitials — which in MVC looks like this:

Compare this to Morphic's implementation: Somewhere in DialogWindow / UserDialogBoxMorph, the text gets wrapped:

(Note that the example text I used here was just lazily stolen from a bulk email, and is not something that would actually appear in Squeak.)

I'm pretty sure that I have fixed this a few weeks ago, are you using the latest Trunk?

[tcj]

@LinqLover indeed, this is in 21674, which I just downloaded today. 21674 seems to be from 2022-04-28

Sorry for the confusion! There is an unmerged patch for this at the moment, I hope I will be able to improve and merge it soon: https://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2022-April/219789.html
