Description/comment fields shouldn't crash with insanely large values.

[Diogo Matsubara]

None of our text input fields should accept input of unlimited size. All our text entrys, file uploads etc. need to have a default maximum size that can be overridden in specific fields if necessary.

Already known upstream - need to fix in Zope3

[Stuart Bishop (stub)]

Upstream Z3 fix won't help, as allowed request size will still need to be huge to allow file uploads.

So field validators will need to detect long strings and raise an invalid data exception. I suspect we should set a default value for all our text fields, and override them if appropriate to smaller or larger values.

 Jonathan Knowles is fixing a specific version of this bug affecting bug descriptions (bug 78911)

[Stuart Bishop (stub)]

Bug.description has been limited in the DB to 50,000 characters in launchpad/devel. Forms need to be updated so they generate useful error messages instead of OOPSing.

[Curtis Hovey (sinzui)]

The correct fix is to update fields that are oopsing. None are oopsing at this time. I have fix some similar oopses in the few months and closed their respective bugs. We can open a specific bug for such problems when they occur.
