Description

Steps to reproduce:

1. Download attached bug.mxml file.
2. Change the '-locale' compile argument from 'en_US' to 'ja_JP'
3. Build the Flex application and display it in the browser,
4. Click the Button control to launch the Alert.

Actual Results:
The japanese text in the cancel button is truncated and has an ellipsis appended to the end of it. (see bug.jpg)

Expected Results:
The japanese string is completely visible and is not truncated. (see workaround.jpg)

Workaround (if any):
A. Set the button width for the Alert buttons so that the labels aren't truncated:
Alert.buttonWidth = 80;

B. Create a kludge to resize the button on the fly in your application. You must also remember to revert the sizing once the alert has been dismissed.
