Description Patrick Eigensatz 2012-01-31 23:40:46 UTC 
Version:           0.9.6 (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Matrix) a Data Matrix Code can store up to 1556 bytes. If I select more than 1556 bytes, and I try to create a data matrix code, it crashes.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Copy a long text into clipboard and try to generate a barcode.

Actual Results:  
Klipper crashes, because this type of barcode can only store up to 1556 bytes.

Expected Results:  
Probably show a message that it isn't possible to create a barcode of the whole text?

Hopefully a working patch for this bug

When I saw that the bug also seems to appear in the Git repository,
I tried to create a patch to fix that bug. I am a (beginning) C programmer, and I don't have any experience about classes in C++, but this patch should work.
Hope it does!

You might be interested with reading bug 283300 and try building both klipper and libprison from git repository.
