Example table:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `pmabug1` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `something` varchar(1000) NOT NULL, `another` text NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
Fill in a row or two with some long values (e.g. Lorem Ipsum).
Go to Browse mode.
The TEXT field is truncated as expected, but the VARCHAR is not. The options like the <-T-> on the table are not active, and the "limit column characters" option is the default 50.
Excellent bug report. Fixed in
