| Subject: | short dialog message throws geometry warning |

A message shorter than 13 characters (the button width plus the sides)
in a Curses::Forms::Dialog message seems to cause the screen to barf
with an error of:
Curses::Widgets::ButtonSet: Window creation failed, possible geometry
problem at learn1.pl line 129
This occurs for me under GNU Screen 4.00.02 on Ubuntu Dapper with
CursesForms-1.997.
I am including a simple patch to right-pad the message with spaces:
CursesForms-1.997/Forms/Dialog.pm
134a135
Show quoted text
> $message .= " " x (sort 0, ($max+3 - length $message))[-1]; # pad message
