Ha!!! That's too funny. I wish it were as simple as that!
This is just one of those things, I am about 30 minutes from deploying
and I just can't get myself to do it without "fixing" this little
problem. My dialog just looks terrible in Landscape because it
actually contains a listview allowing the user to scroll through some
content and select something. The title takes up so much room I am
afraid those of us with fat fingers (read: less technically inclined)
will have difficulty with the listview...
Argh,,,,
