Hi Christoph,

yeah, that warning is not helpful for inbox commits. 

It would be nice to have a version of text-only dialog that uses a pluggable text morph to scroll longer text messages. Maybe with a fixed  width of "60 ex" and height for 5-7 lines.

-1 for this trunction of information, though, because the user has no easy way to look at those 16 version names in that situation.

Best,
Marcel

However, I have follow-up questions:

A. Why do clients need to care about #withNoLineLongerThan:/word-wrapping stuff? Shouldn't this be a responsibility of UserDialogBoxMorph instead?

B. Should we maybe turn off this warning for commits to the MCRepository inbox? In this particular case, our declared workflow says that you should ignore this message anyway, doesn't it?

Best,
Christoph
