Setting values of strings in the F11 menu is limited to 68 characters, when strings can be longer than this.

To fix this bug, MegaZeux's text input field would have to be extended with horizontal scrolling. I don't feel comfortable doing this for 'i'. At the moment, even the load/save dialogue boxes don't allow you to enter filenames longer than their size.

My plan for future versions is to break out the editor as much as possible from the core. This would prepare for (potentially) writing a new editor without totally rewriting MegaZeux.

Updating version to: 2.81e


If splitting the majority of dialogs out to system UI dialogs doesn't happen I had a more difficult thought:

08:27:38 <%Alice> show a big text box with scrolling lines like the robot editor unless it finds something that isn't char 10,13,\t,32-127 in it, in which case it shows a hex editor
08:30:39 <%Alice> or just give an option for which 1 to use

I also don't really see how breaking the editor out would help this specific case, since F11 is used during (test) gameplay.
