Hello,
when the *Network Security Manager* finds a problem a buffer pops up by spliting the frame and, with my combination of emacs display configuration and screen resolution, it is not posible to read all the text that points to the problem found in the connection.

My request is to allow read all the warning text that the NSM is trying to show, by enabling an option to not split the frame, or enable scroll from the minibuffer or enable change window from the minibuffer or even add a response option to read all the warning text or whatever you see fit best.

Thanks for your great work.

(custom-set-variables
 '(display-buffer-alist
   (quote
    (("*Network Security Manager*" display-buffer-same-window)))))

I suppose that all of this should be done indeed, so the plain
‘read-multiple-choice’ used here is probably suboptimal.

Thanks, I was unaware of the "display-buffer-alist" variable.

Again thanks and sorry for the inconvenience.

`read-multiple-choice' should probably allow scrolling the window,
perhaps...

This has now been fixed.
