Glen Mazza closed ROL-1586.
---------------------------

    Resolution: Not a Problem

This is dependent on the editor being used, and it's hard to configure editors to count spaces or freeze entirely when a limit is reached, especially given the very generous length of blog entries that Roller permits.

This is generally not a problem unless you're attempting to copy-and-paste an entire book into a blog entry, but yes, anyone determined enough to do so will see their articles truncated when they hit save.  It should not be a surprise to anyone that Roller will not allow 386 page blog entries (for even if we were to allow that much we'd then get complaints over our ability not to support 486 page entries, and so on), and hard to believe that anyone would type that much without hitting save first to make sure Roller can handle it, unless they were in fact just copy-and-pasting from an original text, in which case they would have the original source anyway.

> User complaint - When adding / editing entries, the UI allows unlimited characters and weblog post appears ok. After posting and refreshing the page, the entry gets truncated which is mis-leading to the author. Please do not allow typing or truncate immediately when posting over the field limit.
