hi,

I'm running into some weirdness with the dialog_pickfile routine.

When you specify the FILE keyword, only a part of the file name shows
up in the dialog box when the window opens. For example:

testfile = dialog_pickfile(file='test12345678987654321.txt')

when I execute this command, only a part of the file name:

78987654321.txt

shows up in the file name input box. The full file name is actually
there, but you have to use the left arrow key to move the cursor over
to the left before you can see it.

my system: IDL Version 8.0.1, Microsoft Windows (Win32 x86_64 m64)

has anyone else encountered this?
thanks,
Mark
