Public bug reported:
Mahara: 17.10.1
OS: Ubuntu 16.04
DB: Postgres
Browser: FF
When inserting a base-64 encoded image into a comment on a form, the
user is presented with the following error:
'This field must be 8192 characters long.'
This rule validation is not really required because the DB field that it
inserting into is a 'Text' type. Which basically means it's almost
unlimited.
Postgres 7.1+ does have an upper limit at 1 Gb for a Text field. Mahara
supports Postgres 9+.
I do think it's safe to remove the maxlength rule for the Text, Note and
Annoation fields.
Please let me know your thoughts.
