example of bug: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-312414-highlight-.html Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. (unsure how to reproduce bug on new thread, but once bug is present, the subject continues to be truncated when editing the thread) 2. 3. Expected Results: 60 char. subject line.
This is due to certain characters in the topic title, in the thread mentioned above it is the " quote character. What happens is that phpBB replaces some characters so the topic title is converted from 'kernel message "irq 6 nobody cared" when floppy is' to 'kernel message "irq 6 nobody cared" when floppy is'. The 60 character limit is imposed after the conversion takes place.
