[RFE] Auto-line-wrap ABE Deny message and convert to overlay

[Tom T.]

Had another user complaint.

@ Giorgio: Would this be difficult to do? Thanks.

My $0.02: I've hit this issue before, when blocking Google Plus with ABE, and it was a real pain. When the message appeared in one window, it affected all windows, and since I often have several open, on different virtual desktops (in Ubuntu), it took me a while to even figure out why the right portion of the window was being pushed off-screen. I'd open the addon menu, and couldn't reach the buttons. The worst part was that the button to close the notification was pushed off-screen too! So, I had to press Tab and Enter and hope I reached the right point in the tab order.

I'm in favor of doing more line-wrapping - even if it means filling the whole page with an ABE message - if it at least means that there are no side effects on other tabs/windows, and I can reach the close button for the notification.

OK, make that three complaints -- and this one from an established member known to be tech-savvy as well.

I will ask Giorgio once more.
