Just realized what a shockingly low limit on characters there seems to be for the message part of the viz.input message dialog.

As can be seen in the attached image, the text is clipped by the inputbox for anything after the second line. The box itself is really small too so there's really no room for writing anything of substance in it.

Any way to change the width of the box? The behaviour of the inputbox placement?

The size and placement are fixed for the viz.input box. Would using a vizinfo box work for you? You could size it and place it where you like with a longer message.

Can the vizinfo box be configured to halt everything else until input is given just like the viz.input does?

No, if you want to create a custom box that performs a blocking action you'll have to use something like a wxPython window.
