Description jogi 2007-01-11 10:16:51 UTC 
If you enter 65536 ASCII characters in a text box (e.g. from clipboard) of OOo
(e.g. Chart: Insert / Title) you are not able to put them in but you also get no
feedback from the application that you have reached the limit of 65535 characters.

It would make sense that also the applications would set a max. limit which
would give the same feedback, only with a different number of allowed characters.

Certainly. However text fields are not meant to be used for whole novels anyway,
so i consider this a somewhat less pressing issue.

The patch to the issue
Comment 5 philipp.lohmann 2007-08-06 14:59:33 UTC 
fixed in CWS vcl82
Comment 6 philipp.lohmann 2007-09-10 09:58:45 UTC 
please verify in CWS vcl82

BTW: pasting that text into a MultiLineEdit (e.g. File->Properties) takes a long
time since every single character is inserted to check formatting. But that's a
different issue.

Works fine in PATCH and in FAT office installation. Test case is being designed.

This issue is closed automatically and wasn't rechecked in a current version of

you think this issue isn't fixed in a current version (OOo 3.1), please reopen
it and change the field 'Target Milestone' accordingly.
