Hi Christoph --

Make that 45 or 65, please. Especially if it is a Text, not a String.

Best,

Hi Christoph --

+1

There also is a constant in TextConstants that defines this centered style in MVC pop-ups. Maybe we should change it to leftFlush? Would also affect menus, I think.

Best,
Marcel

=============== Summary ===============

Change Set:        mvcLineLengthDialogs
Date:            5 April 2022
Author:            Christoph Thiede

Adds a line-length limit to MVC dialogs. Complements Morphic-mt.1935. Due to the recent elimination of #withCRs in many places, this change has been overdue for an even longer time.

Example (to be run in an MVC project):
    self inform: Object comment

    "Display the menu, with caption if supplied. Wait for the mouse button to go down, then track the selection as long as the button is pressed. When the button is released,
    Answer the index of the current selection, or zero if the mouse is not released over any menu item. Location specifies the desired topLeft of the menu body rectangle. The final argument indicates whether the menu should seize the keyboard focus in order to allow the user to navigate it via the keyboard."
