Description Matt Wilson 2003-02-02 22:07:05 UTC

The window "(foo)" is not responding.
Force this application to exit?
(Any open documents will be lost.)

not sure what's better, but I don't like the current wording.

Comment 1 Havoc Pennington 2003-02-02 22:24:47 UTC

We don't change strings in Red Hat patches unless it's very important - needs to
be resolved UPSTREAM

String freeze was 3 days ago though for RH and a month ago upstream.

Comment 2 Havoc Pennington 2003-02-03 23:14:59 UTC

Can you be more detailed about what you don't like about the wording?

Comment 3 Matt Wilson 2003-02-04 00:25:54 UTC

"Force this application to exit?" is a run-on.  I suggest:

The window "(foo)" is not responding.
Would you like to force this application
to exit?

Warning: If you force this application
to exit any open documents will be lost.

That seems like a "Juno CEO" change to me.
