Right now many folks make their own error dialogs for their standalones. 
  Since the MC IDE provides one it seems worthwhile exploring ways we 
could make it something we're proud to include in our standalones.

Thank you for the feedback.

Yes, before we touch the error dialog we should fix this issue.  My 
highest priority is to maintain the MC IDE's reputation for zero bugs 
from build to build.

We can revisit a rewrite of the error dialog after this bug in the 
engine is addressed.
