I disagree about which one is worse. People (and by people I mean really just me, I have no idea what other people actually do) do plain typing a lot, including plain typing not at the end of the input box. They rarely input by selecting and dragging and dropping. Pasting is less rare, but I still feel that plain typing not at end of box is more common than pasting. Can we do both (prevent input if adding the character would go over the limit, and chopping things after the fact if the user manages to somehow get something past the limit)? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
