Confirmed (via my postgrad :-) that Matlab does the same thing.

Still unexpected behaviour though. Only really noticed since 4.4 (under flatpak) seems a bit more challenged, such that even the


demo questdlg


shows this aberrant behaviour (Works OK, by fluke, in 4.2.2).

Many Thanks again, Alan.

Do you have access to Matlab?  What do they do?  It may be that only text within the window is used for sizing the window, rather than also the title.

apologies for truncated verbatim quotes.


btn = questdlg ("Close Octave?",...
  "Some very very fancy title",...
  "Yes", "No", "No");


and


btn = questdlg (...
  "Close Octave?            ",...
  "Some very very fancy title",...
  "Yes", "No", "No");

From help questdlg, with extended title:

btn = questdlg ("Close Octave?", "Some very very fancy title", "Yes", "No", "No");


The title does not stretch the dialog box.


btn = questdlg ("Close Octave?           ", "Some very very fancy title", "Yes", "No", "No");


Works perfectly. Also tested under 4.4.0 (flatpak) with similar results, a little worse due to slight font-size changes.

Delved into _octave_link_question_dialog_ , but got lost WAY too quickly :-(

Have a great Day, Many Thanks :-)
