Glen Mazza closed ROL-1586.
---------------------------
Resolution: Not a Problem
This is dependent on the editor being used, and it's hard to configure editors
to count spaces or freeze entirely when a limit is reached, especially given
the very generous length of blog entries that Roller permits.
This is generally not a problem unless you're attempting to copy-and-paste an
entire book into a blog entry, but yes, anyone determined enough to do so will
see their articles truncated when they hit save. It should not be a surprise
to anyone that Roller will not allow 386 page blog entries (for even if we were
to allow that much we'd then get complaints over our ability not to support 486
page entries, and so on), and hard to believe that anyone would type that much
without hitting save first to make sure Roller can handle it, unless they were
in fact just copy-and-pasting from an original text, in which case they would
have the original source anyway.
> User editor allows unlimited characters in content field yet truncates when
> entry is published. Should not allow typing after limit is reached.
