BTW, I'd suggest the OP derive their own widget to achieve the
requirements of your app, eg. one that uses Fl_Text_Display to
display the text (so that scrollbars appear if the text is too long).
This would also allow copy/paste from the text field.
This has been suggested for fl_choice(), but I forget why it
was rejected.
fl_choice() and friends are for very simple situations, and should
probably instead be superseded by a class based widget that allows
options for using more modern text display methods
eg. (Fl_Box/Fl_Multiline_Output/Fl_Text_Display/Fl_Help_View..)
and has more flexible features such as being able to set the
min/max width + height for the dialog, and so that a ^C
(or on macs, Meta-C) can 'copy' the entire text of the dialog,
even if the underlying widget isn't selectable. (Surprisingly,
something that works with eg. simple Windows error dialogs)
