Bug #32706 for UI-Dialog: missing Interpolation of \n

Subject:	missing Interpolation of \n

I've installed UI-Dialog-1.08 and tried to run following code with perl v5.8.8 under Linux 2.6.22-3-686 (Debian GNU/Linux 4.0r2): use UI:Dialog::Backend::XDialog; my $dialog = new UI:Dialog::Backend::XDialog; $dialog -> infobox(title => 'nice title', text => "This\nis\nan\nexamle."); But the \n isn't interpolated and so all the text appears on one line, although the original Xdialog provides this feature. I've also tried to out the text in a variable and used yesno and msgbox, but it doesn't work. There is no error message while running the program.

I've installed UI-Dialog-1.08 and wanted to run following code with perl v5.8.8 under Linux 2.6.22-3-686 (Debian GNU/Linux 4.0r2): use UI::Dialog::Backend::XDialog; my $dialog = new UI::Dialog::Backend::XDialog; $dialog -> infobox(title => 'nice title', text => "This\nis\na\nnice\example."); But the \n isn't interpolated and so all the text is on one line, although the original Xdialog provides this function. I also tried to put the text into a variable and used yesno and msgbox but it doesn't work. There is no error message while running the program.

Richard, Thank you for reporting this bug; I apologize for the delay in response. There is a similar issue affecting UI::Dialog::Backend::Zenity; I believe it should be straightforward to port the fix over to UI::Dialog::Backend::XDialog. -steve -- Steve Huff * hakamadare@users.sourceforge.net

This is not a bug but a feature. UI::Dialog automatically organizes the text to fit into the window. If you don't want UI::Dialog to do that, use the literal-option. For me (using CDialog) this works but it is also documented for XDialog. This should work: $dialog -> infobox(title => 'nice title', text => "This\nis\nan\nexamle.", literal => 1); Anyway, I thinks this feature should be documented in UI::Dialog too!

I don't think that this is somehow related to the Zenity backend bug.

Documentation for XDialog was updated in 1.09. Just a little blurb noting that 'literal' option for that backend. -- Kevin C. Krinke <kevin@krinke.ca>
