Hi All,

Under 3.0.2 I was able to read and write excel files that had charts with long 
titles without problem.  POI 3.1 fails to read excel files that contain charts 
with titles longer than 256 characters.  With a little digging I found that in 
3.1 chart titles are being read as SeriesTextRecords whereas in 3.0.2 they were 
being read as UnknownRecords.

SeriesTextRecords have a byte text length field that limits the title text 
length to 256 characters.  I presume that this is why 3.1 fails to read in 
files containing charts with long titles whereas the data length of the 
UnknownRecord is not limited and 3.0.2 had no problems.

Since excel allows for chart titles longer than 256 characters, I would presume 
the 256 character limit imposed by the SeriesTextRecord is a bug.  Is this the 
case?  Is there a work around for this problem?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Laird
