I took the time to write some  fairly long "descriptions" in this entry box (description) of the "fields management" dialog, only to discover a few days ago that they were all gone. :(
 
I also discovered why (I think) : when the description is too long, IQ just ignores it (erases it or just keeps the last "shorter" version if there was any).
 
 
So of course this is a question, but it's also a bug -- and will enter it in Mantis if someone can kindly confirm this problem.
 
The user :  1- shouldn't be able to enter more than a certain number of characters, 2- Or be told that the description is too long...
 
( I personally like the idea of being able to enter long descriptions there, as some fields can be used in different context, and this "description" section can help making that clear -- and... that info is accessible in a popup when hovering over column headers, when in the grid.)

Confirmed.  It gives a red error message after I enter too many characters (how ever many that is). 
 
With a large amount of text, it would be very useful to be able to shift+F2 or item>info like in the grid.

This is now fixed. After 255 chrs, the box stops accepting chrs
