Description

If you invoke a inputbox with some linebreaks in the text, the prompt scrolls out of the visible area of the window

I test the problem with Delphi 2010 and Delphi 2006. It was not there. Someone changed the inputbox code , in order to change the position of the label to the left hand side of the textbox.
In Delphi 2010 the Label was in top of the textbox, so the window grows to the bottom. Now it grows to the sides and produces this missbehaviour.

Steps to Reproduce:

Invoke the following inputbox
InputBox(Application.Title,'A text'+#13#10+#13#10+#13#10+#13#10+#13#10+#13#10+'with some linebreaks','');

What version(and build no) of Delphi do you use, for example Delphi XE2(16.0.4276.44006)?
and, is this a regression? How about previous versions of Delphi?

We hope this issue will be fixed in upcoming next update release(e.g., Update 4).
If possible, please retest this issue with it.

I have installed latest Update 4.
The issue is NOT fixed yet here.
Do others have this fixed, is it just with me?
Do I need to send a new report ?
