 Description   

Though command block typing space is now apparently infinite, if commands (in this case, /say) are too long, they will disappear upon exiting the command block interface.

In 13w37a, the character limit was changed, but I don't know if too long text is still cut off. Might be worth investigating.

Confirmed for 13w36b. This is actually annoying now that it causes issues with the revised /give and new /summon commands, which can easily require more than 256 characters to work properly. Either don't let the user type more characters than the maximum, don't let them confirm a command if it has more characters than that, or raise the cap.

It's also worth noting that the actual maximum supported by the NBT format far exceeds 256, making the cap fairly arbitrary and limiting the use of the new commands.
