Is this configurable or is it a defect to add to you list? In the backend the error and warning messages display for only a couple of seconds and then disappear. In some cases the message dialog is blank. In one case the message told me it couldn't write to a path, but only showed the first half of the path (and because it kept disappearing I could only read that much of it by repeating the error several times).
I'm using the January 27 nightly build with:
- Joomla 1.5 Stable
- msql Ver 12.22 Distrib 4.0.16
- PHP 4.4.1
- FreeBSD 4.11 stable
No response needed unless you think I'm doing something wrong or need more information.
To see the full message try simple layout, and do post the messages that you get.
