This is because the database schema limits the description field to 256.

Not sure how this is happening, it should be truncated on the original  
save as well.

We will need to change the schema for the description field, but this  
will probably have to wait until Horde 6 since there are already new  
migrations added for Kronolith unless another developer has an idea on  
how to add a ".5" migration...
