AlertWindow chops off right side of text

General JUCE discussion
#1

In AlertWindow::updateLayout() on line 455:

w = jmin (w, (int) (getParentWidth() * 0.7f));

The maximum width is set by the size of the parent.

But previously, the text layout is done with a different value of w:

textLayout.layout (w, Justification::left, true);

which is based on the font size:

const int wid = jmax (font.getStringWidth (text),
font.getStringWidth (getName()));

const int sw = (int) sqrt (font.getHeight() * wid);
int w = jmin (300 + sw * 2, (int) (getParentWidth() * 0.7f));

so far it’s ok, but then this happens

w = jmax (350, textLayout.getWidth() + iconSpace + edgeGap * 4);

and now w is bigger than getParentWidth() * 0.7f

ah, right. Ok, well how about just limiting the width earlier on, at line 427:

[code] w = jmax (350, textLayout.getWidth() + iconSpace + edgeGap * 4);
w = jmin (w, (int) (getParentWidth() * 0.7f));

[/code]
