Category/Product long description limitation

I am not sure if this is a bug or this is how it is was implemented. When adding a category or product long description any string longer than 255 gets truncated (if you copy and paste). If it is a bug I think the limit is actually on the form's text field. If not a bug can this limit be increased?

The description fields on category were implemented as Strings. We'll take it under consideration to alter the long-description to a Lob field. In the meantime, you can read our developer guide on extending entities to extend the BLC Category to add an additional field that can meet your needs.

FYI the latest Jira for this is at http://jira.broadleafcommerce.org/browse/BLC-376 and has been resolved in 1.6.0-M2 (and thus the latest SNAPSHOT).
