I'm sure it does, but personally I think we shouldn't have to deal with
Rev's foibles like this. The fact that the long answer dialog is
non-standard (it can be too big for both Mac AND Windows HIGs) has already
been reported as a bug #270, but it was marked as fixed when it really
wasn't fixed.

This is a bug that is still outstanding IMHO.
