I haven't downloaded your patch yet to have a look, but is it still necessary?
RunRev changed things in 2.6.0 so that the answer text wrapped, and
this caused some problems with cut-off text. However as far as I can
see, this was fixed in version 2.6.1

Are there still problems that I haven't encountered yet?

The answer dialog works well as described in most common uses, extending the width of the dialog within HIG-recommended ranges and adjusting itself vertically to accomodate long strings. It even adds a scrollbar if the string is too long to fit within the vertical size range of the dialog so you can put a novel into that dialog if you like.

However, the Rev text engine still does soft wraps on word breaks only, so it's possible to come up with long single-word strings that will evidence this in the answer dialog -- for example:

answer "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvqxyza1b1c1d1e1f1g1h1i1j1k1l1m1n1o1p1q1r1s1t1u1v1w1x1y1z1"

...cuts of at "...j1k".

There's a request for more flexible word wrapping in Bugzilla:
