Hi Carsten, I'd like to follow up on this. There is no character limit, but there is a bug. PyMOL is inappropriately clipping names in groups if the internal GUI cuts off the end of the name. The current workaround for your sessions is to expand the internal_gui to show the names, and then save your session.
I'll look into fixing this ASAP.
