The form helper doesn't remember anything. When you submit the form,
the data is being saved in $this->data. The FormHelper just fills in
any matching values from $this->data when creating a form input. So
your data takes a roundtrip Form > Controller ($this->data) >
FormHelper. Is there anything being done to $this->data anywhere on
the way that may cut off the text?
Alternatively, FormHelper makes a lot of assumptions about what kind
of input you want from various sources, including database schema etc.
It might be that the field in the database can only hold one
character...? (total stab in the dark)
