Bug Report: Post Length Limit Not Enforced On Post Edit
-
Bug: post length is limited during Editing
Expected: inform the user when the post length is reached and prevent them from typing anymore
Actual: Post editor continues to allow characters beyond the post limit, but the preview pane stops updating. When Save is clicked, the UI appears to save however it does not occur successfully. On subsequent attempts to edit the post, the UI asks if changes should or should not be abandoned.

Limit was 32000 characters. I've doubled it to 64000.
Doesn't address the bug but will help you with that post.

Ogh, that's nasty.

Especially since most of the time you can't see the bottom of the preview pane, you don't know what it's doing.

Pretty sure @sam added a non-insane server response for this now.
