Description Carlos 2009-06-26 12:34:53 UTC 
An example: the extension "Gadgets" saves preferences prefixing them with "gadget-". When the change to this table was made, preferences for gadget "herramienta-ver-subpagina" from eswiki, could not be saved anymore.

strlen("gadget-") + strlen("herramienta-ver-subpagina") == 33

To reproduce:
1. login in es.wikipedia.org,
2. go to Special:Preferences,
3. Go to "Artilugios" (last tab), "Accesorios para la interfaz" (3rd heading),
4. tick on "Agrega una herramienta que lleva a buscar las subpáginas." (8th checkbox from bottom)
5. save preferences
6. when the page reloads, the item isn't ticked anymore

We're not going to immediately expand the field.

The workaround is to shorten your gadget names.
Comment 2 Carlos 2009-06-26 12:44:59 UTC 
Yes, I guessed that much about the workaround :)

But are you going to expand it later?

I mean, either you eventually expand the field, or the gadget extension developers should restrict the length of gadget names and they have to be warned of this.
Comment 3 Carlos 2009-06-26 12:55:42 UTC 
Well, here it is: bug 19410. Sort it out between yourselves ;)

Thanks.
