GUI editor bug

[am]

When using the GUI editor:
I've putten a 266 characters long text into a label (text shows up on gui properties box but not in the label itself).
Clicked on the label - editor crashes with:
Exception 0xC000000005 at EIP=0x0043463D, AGSE v.2.55.359

In the help there is no mention for a limit, but since it uses a string I guess it have the same limit - 200 characters.

However, I need to put a lot of text in the GUI (for my encyclopedia), and I wouldn't want to brake it to different lines - is there a better way?

I got a error like this also while doing the same

Easiest way would just be to use two label objects, one below the other. It wouldn't neccessarily have to make any visible break in the text if you did it properly.

I don't want to break the text at all (not even if it's not noticed visibly) because the text should be searchable, and if it's broken to several parts it'll be much harder to implement the search.

But if they are on the same page/gui or at least in the same place, wont the search still work somewhat?  I guess it depends on the code.

I'm afraid labels have a 200 character limit, as do text script strings.

Thanks for the bug report though, it shouldn't crash, so I'll make it truncate it instead.

Actually, It might be better to prevent typing more than 200 characters rather then truncating it.  Including Script Text (if you want to bother checking it).

It would cause less confusion if someone keeps asking, "Why is the rest of my text disappearing?"
