6 months ago @santropedro Hi what are the steps to reproduce this issue? (I have never seen this window.) Run HTtrack (in my case I'm on Windows, so WinHTTrack.exe for me), welcome page >next, make up some project name>next, and on Action: select "Download web site(s) + questions", the pops ups are those questions, now you can try downloading any website, for example on web addresses write: "https://www.turgor.ru/en/" or any other adress you want, that has links towards the outward web that is other domains (it has to stop at some time, if not, it will mirror the whole web because its all connected like a spider web), then next, finish, and if you wait long enough the questions start popping up, probably about a couple of seconds or a minute in, after seeing them you can cancel so you don't download anything else.

6 months ago @santropedro thanks i was able to reproduce the error and am not going to help. (create a pull request) Solution for your problem use cli with this command (change parameters: URL and save location):
httrack "https://www.turgor.ru/en/" -O "C:\temp\" -W
-O path for mirror/logfiles+cache (-O path_mirror[,path_cache_and_logfiles]) (--path ) -W means mirror web sites, semi-automatic (asks questions) (--mirror-wizard) more flags for cli can you find here: Httrack Users Guide (3.10) By Fred Cohen or here: HTTrack Documentation Not related to your issue: I have never used httrack with "+questions" i always work with cli and flags. If i use the gui i only use "set options..." i know there are a lot of options but you mostly only need to define "Limits".

6 months ago @gamebeaker Thank you for teaching me various new things and for reproducing the bug! I guess the devs will later decide if they want to chime in to fix or not this issue.
"Download website with questions": When the question pop up asks about a link, only the characters that fit in the fixed width window are shown, thus impeding the user to know which link is supposed to take that important decision about. This is mega trivial to fix too, and if not, the feature is almost unusable, since a sizable portion of the links it asks are longer than the pop up can contain. Make it so it shows, somehow, the entire link text. Picture to prove it's a problem:
