When dialog boxes get too long

pneFound this while trying to open an MSWord document in slightly nested path; the document itself had a fairly long filename.
![[Microsoft Word] Path/to/VeryLongFilename.doc sollte nur mit Schreibschutz geöffnet werden, solange keine Änderungen gespeichert werden müssen. Soll die Datei mit Schreib [Ja] [Nein] [Abbrechen]](https://p.dreamwidth.org/a83193d7323a/20791-189699/wunschzetel.de/pics/schreibschutz.png)
Rough translation:
Path/to/VeryLongFilename.doc should only be opened in readonly mode if you do not need to save any changes. Do you wish to open the file in read
[Yes] [No] [Cancel]
That is, the message was simply truncated. Oops.
