(Whiteboard: [PDT+] today)

A dialog created with UniversalDialog can have several elements -- namely a main message, up to two edit fields, a checkbox, and up to four buttons. If the dialog does not have any edit fields, the main message wraps if it is bigger than the dialog box. If there are edit fields, the main message stays on one long line, causing the dialog to become extremely wide.
This bug makes it impossible to put up the disclaimer that we need for single signon (see bug 27725)

Pulled the change that was just made to commonDialog.xul and am still seeing the problem. Here's a scenerio to demonstrate it. 1. Make the "firstPassword" message in extensions/wallet/src/wallet.properties be something extremely long. (This is where we are going to put the disclaimer that is required in bug 27725.) 2. If wallet/single-signon has been used in the past, delete any files for wallet from profile (or, alternatively, start with a new profile). 3. Go to a site that has a login form, fill it out, and submit it 4. Answer yes to the question about wanting to save the password 5. The dialog that pops up asking you to create a master password will have the text you entered in step 1 all displayed on a single line with no wrapping.

Verified. Now I can get bug 27725 fixed the correct way (I am currently forcing the wrap by putting line-feeds into my string). Thanks Ben.
