Description Matt Wringe 2011-11-18 19:18:22 UTC

Steps to Reproduce: 1) import a gadget with a long description (for example, http://hosting.gmodules.com/ig/gadgets/file/112581010116074801021/hamster.xml)
2) add the gadget to a category
3) add the gadget wrapped portlet to a page
4) click on edit portlet then click 'save and close'
5) error message appears
project_key: JBEPP

If you import a remote gadget, that gadget's description can be longer than the maximum. But you will not be able to edit a gadget wrapper portlet which contains this gadget since an error message will appear on save: "The length of the text in field "Description :" must be between "0" and "255" characters."

Updated the technical notes section since its the description length which has changted, not the title.
