[Bug-XBoard] [bug #27844] Escape sequences in popup messages

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #27844 (project xboard):

OK, thanks fo the clarification. I tried to get in LINEFEEDS in my Ubuntu, by
escaping them with backslash, but it did not seem to work. But I am a Linux
newbie, so I might have done something wrong (Perhaps leaving out quoting
makes the difference?) Anyway, 4.4.x supports the escapes in the InitString.

It sounds good to have the "auto-close" feature available. We should mention
it in the specs then, though, so that authors know what they will get. I will
check how things currently work. I think the mouse handler currently starts
with ErrorPopDown()...

There is no need to _force_ an engine to exit after using "tellusererror".
Just that it can reserve the right to do so. (A right with it normally has
only after receiving "quit".) Some people complained about geting double error
popups on a fatal engine error. So I just want to suppress the "exited
unexpectedly" fatal-error popup of the GUI in this case. If the engine does
not exit, that would not appear anyway, and everything is fine.

H.G.
