[bitbake-devel] [PATCH] hob: Error reports are done in a clearer way

[Cristian Iorga]

For long errors (bigger than 200 letters),
the text box is scrollable and resizable
and text is selectable.

Additionaly, all message dialogs are modal.
Otherwise, a user could still interact with hob
even in an error case, leading to potential problems.

See design details in related bugs.

Fixes [YOCTO #2960], [YOCTO #2983]
