Comment:

 Hi All,
 I have taken a look at this now that this with the latest version of
 WordPress and It appears there is a string length limit in place now to
 stop this from erroring when inserting into the database. It no longer
 throughs up an error message as before, but instead just truncates behind
 the scenes without any notification that it has done this.
 In regards to the string length due to the encoding, this still appears to
 be prevalent, but I really cannot think of a solution to get around this
 issue, and I am not sure that there will be one.
 As the main complaint from this ticket looks to be resolved in the latest
 releases, I believe we can close this ticket down?
