From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: When using content > Categories > Edit Category to alter a mistyped Name, it is impossible to add a character until several characters have been deleted. This occurs when the existing category name is quite long. It seems there is a maximum character value for this field, but when the Local Government Directories List categories were imported they overrode this. In this example Local Government Categories List > Social services > Childre, young people and families .... I needed to add an "n" to the word children. I couldn't. I deleted a character, but still could add one. In fact, in order to add a character I must delete 5. This seems to be the case in all of a slection of 'long' Category names I tried, and also applies to the URL field. It effectively means these category names cannot be edited in the orthodox way. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: See above. Additional info:
The CMS UI is imposing an arbitrary limit on the data field which is much less than what the database is actually capable of storing.
Out of curiousity, what's the formula for translating the maximum capacity of the underlying DB column into the correct "max" attribute on the HTML text field?
fixed @40451. Category editing UI was arbitrarily limiting category name input to 30 characters.
