Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

JBDS 9.0.0 / BPMN2 Modeler - Diagram Editor 1.2.1.201509111741(Early Access)

2.
3.

Actual results:

unable to input more than 255 characters

Additional info:

The following limitation was introduced for test field.
https://www.eclipse.org/bpmn2-modeler/whatsnew/whatsnew-1.1.2.php
---
 A new User Preference has been added to the Editor Behavior preference page, which allows Text fields to be limited to a maximum length. The default is 255 characters. Note that Multiline text boxes, such as those used for Documentation and Scripts, are not subject to this limit. 
---

But this seems to  be applied for test area unexpectedly only on Windows.

Therefore, workaround is to set 'Maximum text field length' to 0 via
menu Window -> Preferences -> BPMN2 -> Editor -> Behavior
