Widget_Message on the Mac [message #14924]

Hi all;

I was trying to use Widget_Message (which I regularly use on a Solaris
machine) to display some information for a program running IDL 5.2 for
Macintosh. However, when I passed an array of strings, they didn't print one
per line like they do on other platforms. Instead, they were concatenated
together. Has anyone else seen this behavior?

Example:

Type the following at the IDL prompt:
ok = Widget_Message(['line one', 'line two'], /Information)

On Solaris and Windows, I get a dialog like this:

+------------------+
| Information |
+------------------+
| line one |
| line two |
| +------+ |
| | Ok | |
| +------+ |
+------------------+

On the Mac, it looks more like this:

+------------------+
| Information |
+------------------+
| line oneï¿½ line |
| two |
| +------+ |
| | Ok | |
| +------+ |
+------------------+

Why? Any ideas how to fix it?
