Bug Description
On 11.10, 12.04, and 12.10:
--info , --warning , --error windows get higher for each word which is added to
the text.
Seems like useless blank lines are added below the text.
This is a big usability issue for applications using Zenity.
Remark: with --error, the bug is 2x more important than with --info , --warning
HOW TO REPRODUCE:
zenity --info --text='A b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z'
zenity --warning --text='A b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z'
zenity --error --text='A b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z'
zenity --error --text=
Examples which DON'T have the bug:
zenity --question --text='A b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z'
zenity --error --text=

I am affected by this bug. I have been using kdialog for the purpose of a short notice, for this reason, which is sort of a shame, since kdialog is not that powerful in other respects.
Can this be fixed as soon as possible, please?!
Thanks to YannUbuntu for so nicely summarizing this strange issue.
