New Sketch Warning 2009SP2

So I see we have a new way to show sketch warnings for SW2009 SP2.

It asks the question "Do you want to continue?", yet only gives one button. What if I want to say "No"?

Ok, so I realize that I can hit the "X" in the upper right (although the "Esc" key does not work!), but really, there should be a "No" button.

Hi Guys,
We are able to reproduce this problem on XP using the "Windows Classic" desktop theme. I know that Charles is using this theme... Roy, are you using this theme too?
Thanks,
John

No is just so negative, Charles. Maybe SW Corp. is trying to have a more positive outlook on errors.

I guess I better define the error correctly. It is not a "rebuild error", it is a warning while editing a sketch line. So I was trying to add a "split" into a line in a 2D sketch.

  Wow... that's an interesting one. I looked at our code and I don't see any way that the dialog should show up with only the "Yes" button. This is a standard Microsoft dialog with MB_YESNO flag set. In addition, our code in this area hasn't changed for quite a while.
  
  I have seen similar behavior if a system is running out of application resources. The result is that running applications on your machine can no longer create further windows, buttons, menus, etc. This could happen if you have a ton of other apps open or a lot of SolidWorks documents open. You could test this theory by opening up a handful of IE windows or some other applications. If you see that these apps are missing icons, menus, toolbars, etc., then your system has run out of desktop heap, which is a reserved portion of memory used for this purpose.
  
  You could also try closing a few other applications, or closing some of your SW models, and see if you can get our dialog to show up correctly with both the "Yes" and "No" button.
  
  Best Regards,
  John

    John,
    
    Thank you for the prompt response. I have attached a video file (.swf with .html controls) that details what I did to create the error message. I would be happy to send you any other information you require (like my reg. settings), just let me know.
    
    To comment on your responses:
    -I haven't necessarily seen this pop-up since using 2009, so it's tough for me to say it is just from SP2. I know I have seen it in 2008 and I have to assume I had chosen no before.
    -I am not running out of system resources
    -The problem is repeatable with the above steps on my system.
    
    -----
    
    I duplicated the problem after rebooting, and also on another co-worker's machine that is running SP2. His machine is the same setup as mine... Can anyone else out there running SP2 duplicate this?

        I can confirm this behaviour.
        Usual basic start up, run SW, new sketch, split line with equal relationship to another and the message appears with only one button 'YES'.
        
        Edit
        
        The 'YES' button is not central which would indicate there should be another button, (to the right).
