Writing this comment I was told I had characters left but the value was truncated. In what's there now, I edited the extra out through trial and error.

I'm experiencing this in the weird new (for me, anyway) comment UI:

What I saw when editing my comment.

I did not have 19 characters left.

Going to try and recreate the Markdown (since I can't edit now) with a version that's reported as okay and then is displayed truncated.

"_Or some ancient ORM/Data Library implementation from the 2000s did something?_" Yeah, I'm admittedly worried. I haven't checked in my deletion of that block yet. Two of the `IDbParameter` implementations supported are `OleDbParameter` and `OdbcParameter`, which could, essentially, be anything. Like Charlieface, I feel okay about `SqlParameter` (and only slightly less good about `OracleParameter`), but OLE and ODBC mean Wild West. I'll probably comment it up with a link to this and move on at some point. Unfortunately I don't have access to all the consumers, so that argues for keeping it.

If I type that in now as a reply to my earlier comment, I'm told I have four characters left.

says I have four characters left

But saving results in this content being displayed:

... which truncates the last 3-4 characters (it. and possibly the leading space)

TRUNCATED!!

I then deleted the comment since debugging comments in a live question for very long isn't fair to anyone.

    @JohnMontgomery that answer doesn't seem to be getting any sustained attention. Seems like you'd want that "answer" to point to this repeatable bug report, perhaps? Commented Jul 21, 2025 at 18:33

    Considering, as well, that the post states "We will be monitoring this post for feedback till June 19th, 2025." then posting a new question isn't a bad thing. Commented Jul 22, 2025 at 11:01
