Build Identifier: 20100917-0705

When pasting a large amount of text, 100kb or so without linebreaks, into a Text widget, the widget truncates the text at 28230 bytes.

"Splitting" the text into lines of 130 characters works fine, and the widget holds the full amount of text.

Reproducible: Always

Do you observe this behavior in all browsers (IE, FF, Chrome, Safari, Opera) or it is browser specific?

I did some testing with Controls Demo -> Text Tab. A single line text (102 614 characters) copy and paste into a multi text widget, than CTRL-A to select the complete text, and copy and paste back. FF, IE and Opera don't truncate it, Safari and Chrome (WebKit) truncate the text to 37078 characters. All test are done on Windows 7 64bit. Maybe the problem is OS (RAM) specific too - limit of the clipboard.

And some more testing on Windows XP SP3 512MB RAM (VirtualBox) with FF and IE6. Same single line text (102 614 characters) is not truncated.

I guess i was too hasty in reporting the bug as a bug in RAP.
It seems like it's indeed a bug in WebKit, as none of IE or Firefox truncates the text.

I'll report the bug to the WebKit guys instead.
Sorry for the trouble.

I will close it as NOT_ECLIPSE.
