Description Roybb95 2005-06-11 08:18:36 UTC 
Add to the edit summary <input> a maxlength="200", so that edit summaries won't
be cut off in the middle.
Comment 1 Zigger 2005-06-11 08:46:56 UTC 
The edit summary <input> already has a maxlength of 200 at least since version
1.1.0.

Is the problem specific to a particular character set, wiki or browser?
Comment 2 Brion Vibber 2005-06-11 08:49:53 UTC 
Just a note on this: currently the comment fields in the database have a limit of 255 
_bytes_, rather than 255 characters. In UTF-8 encoding, 200 characters can be longer, up to 
600 bytes for many Asian languages (800 for pathological cases using very high-numbered 
characters).
