AOZ Studio Beta

Found that the long text didn't actually lock up AOZ, but rather made the OK button inaccessible.
I changed the Bug subject accordingly.

Re-tested in 1.0.0 (B4). Problem still exists whenever a JavaScript alert box appears in the AOZ Viewer.

When running in the web browser, these issues go away.

NOTE: I coded an example using inline JavaScript in AOZ, but these alerts could also be generated by the AOZ IDE.

NOTE: I modified the test code, and organized it to clarify the problems.

It should display 4 alert boxes sequentially:

{ alert('test'); }

{
    msg  = "1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ";
    msg += "2 He was with God in the beginning. ";
    alert(msg);
}

{
    msg += "3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. ";
    msg += "4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.";
    msg += "5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome[a] it.";
    alert(msg);
}

{
    msg += "6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John.";
    msg += "7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe.";
    alert(msg);
}

Using this test when running in AOZ, (and using the custom retro-style alert boxes), I only see the last alert box (where the OK button is covered).

Unfortunately, since keyboard control has not been implemented, the the only way out of this, is to close and restart AOZ entirely.

I can, however, click the Direct Mode (Wizard Hat) button, and then click the Reload button to restart the program.

Since the retro-style box is still open, this enables the NORAML alerts to be displayed.

NOTE: The NORMAL alert boxes work properly (except that they are displayed at the top of the screen instead of the center of the AOZ Viewer window).

The other problems disappear:

1. The box is modal as it should be, so processing stops until the box is closed, or the OK button is clicked.
2. Keyboard control is functioning properly.  (Enter is accepted, but since the box isn't modal, it loses focus, and the AOZ viewer closes instead.)
3. The box resizes to accommodate a larger amount of text as required.  (In some browsers this would scroll vs. resize.)
4. The box wraps text properly as required.  (With the retro boxes, long text can overflow both horizontally and vertically.
(See snapshots for more detail.  See also Bugs #662, #665)

My recommendation: Since the new retro-style alert boxes aren't working properly anyway, rather than spending the time to fix them, just disable them, and allow the normal dialogs to be used, so we can devote that development time to more important things. (After all, weren't we trying to get away from the retro-style anyway?)

Re-tested in 1.0.0 (B5). WORKING! :-)

Closing this ticket. Text overflow on the boxes was fixed, but there are still issues with NOT being modal.
