Comment(by nacin):

 Ah, thanks, I meant to punt this.

 Not sure if this is the best solution either, but the problem is that you
 can't simply remove any [...] or […] that appear in a description.
 They're sometimes used to denote the removal of information in a quote,
 for example, so they might not always be deliberately at the end of a
 description. The patch avoids using regular expressions or multiple substr
 to check if the ellipses appear at the end of the description.

 Then again, a simpler way might just be to check mb_strlen for < 360.
