--- Begin Message ---Package: dialog Version: 1.1-20100119-1 Severity: important The --add-widget flag is supposed to allow you to chain various dialog boxes and should exit if you select NO or Cancel at any level. However, it simply continues on to the next level regardless of what options are selected. Confirmed this bug happens in this version and the version (1.0-20060221) on Etch. Example code: retval=0 dialog --yesno "1" 0 0 \ --add-widget --yesno "2" 0 0 \ --add-widget --yesno "3" 0 0 case $retval in 0) echo "Clicked YES" ;; 1) echo "Clicked NO" ;; *) echo "Something else" ;; esac With this script, I should be able to select no to the first or second yes/no question and it should exit right then. It does not. It continues on to the end. Do I have a mistake in my code or is this a bug? ------------- -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages dialog depends on: ii debianutils 2.30 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.10.2-5 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libncursesw5 5.7+20090803-2 shared libraries for terminal hand dialog recommends no packages. dialog suggests no packages. -- no debconf information

No, that's not what the manpage says. Manpage says this: You can put more than one dialog box into a script: - Use the "--and-widget" token to force Dialog to proceed to the next dialog unless you have pressed ESC to cancel, or - Simply add the tokens for the next dialog box, making a chain. Dialog stops chaining when the return code from a dialog is nonze- ro, e.g., Cancel or No (see DIAGNOSTICS). > However, it simply continues on to the next level regardless > of what options are selected. Not if you write a program which matches documentation: dialog --yesno "1" 0 0 \ --yesno "2" 0 0 \ --yesno "3" 0 0 > Do I have a mistake in my code or is this a bug? Seems a mistake in the code.
