maxLength only checks for characters, but the database field used by mediawiki
for comments can only hold 255 *bytes*, that can be 255 characters, but for
example german umlauts needs two bytes ...

The problem here is, that #wpReason was changed from input to textarea, but
textarea does not have a maxlength attribute (under HTML 4), but mediawiki adds
a maxlength, some browser are very restricted against this and break or play
not nice with this situation.
