[#7539] - a too long note will be cut when saved (caracter count or/and larger text field needed)

Steps to reproduce the issue
open an article
add a long note to this article
save it
Expected result
● the note should be saved (and not cut) or:
● limiting the number of characters in the comment text field (so you know when you reach the character limit)
(or, the dirty solution: a warning before you save "your comments text is too long")
Actual result
it cut your comment and saves it without warning.
System information (as much as possible)
joomla 3.3.3 (the bug might be also in the next version)
Additional comments
An resizable box option for this note field (and more characters allowed, the double maybe ) will be also great.
A big thanks to you joomla team for your amazing work!

Thanks for your reply! I'm ok with the 250 characters, but my problem is that there is no way to see when we reach this limits (if I save 300 characters, 50 will be lost without knowing it did cut it). Something like a characters counting, or a text field limited to a certain number of characters limit would solve the bug.

"What is it you are trying to store in the version note field?" Well, long notes! ;-)
(such as, "this module article has been unpublished at this date because this or that, but it should be published during this period with this or this articles and blah blah...)

We could probably add some JavaScript code which prompts a warning when the text gets to long.
I did something like that in my component to notice the user when the text gets to long for iTunes.
But we don't do that anywhere else do we. 255 characters is a lot
Yeah, when we do it would have to be done in the formfield triggering on a max-size setting or so. So it could apply to all formfields.

Sorry but 255 characters for a note should be more than long enough. What is it you are trying to store in the version note field?
