The 'quote name limit' doesn't limit the number of characters. It
limits the number of characters that TB! will consider to be a quote
prefix. For example if you set a quote name limit of 4.
TB! will treat these as quote prefixes:

It doesn't trunkate them to 4 characters. It simply ignores them as
being quote prefixes. This is how it has always worked. This is what
the feature was intended for and as requested. TB! used to use an
arbitrary limit of 20 characters and others wanted more control. That
arbitrary limit was to prevent entire lines of text with a > in it
being treated as a quotation.

Yes. The limit feature doesn't interfere with content. It interferes
with the interpretation of the content; in this case, a string of
characters followed by a '>'. How should it treat it? As a quote
prefix or not? The quote name limit controls this interpretation
threshold.

It's just how TB! generates the initials from the name.

Can't have that. At least not without a fancy regex to generate your
initials for you, instead of TB!. I think there's one in the regex
repository on the support pages.
