| Description | I assume and recall that a paragraph of text should allow me to add a fair bit of text, but it seems to be reducing any input to around 4 lines of text. I also think some of the other text options do the same so maybe this issue isn't limited to "A paragraph of text (No Comcode support). |

I think this broke recently, due to another bug fix to an issue on MySQL.
I'm in a bit of chaos right now as I just got back from 3 weeks on site with clients. So here's the raw patch...
