OK - got it. I'll stop arguing.
But, may I then suggest to change the font size of the message from "FL_SMALL_SIZE"
to "FL_NORMAL_SIZE"?
The font is difficult to read, because it's in red.
I may not be the only one that has difficulty in actually reading the message!
So the using the normal size font, instead of the small one, may help.
