Description Jarosław Staniek 2012-06-06 09:02:54 UTC 
Changing Length property in Table Designer should not trigger data removal because it is not needed by database internals (even SQLite).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a table with at least one text field in Design view
2. Change the Length property
3. Save the table design
Actual Results:  
Data removal is requsted.

Expected Results:  
Changes should be silently applied.

Treat this as a special during saving. Backport to 2.4.3 as a workaround for limited default length ==200 characters what relates to bugs like https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=301136. This way complex workarounds like http://community.kde.org/Kexi/Releases/Kexi_2.4/Workaround_301136 will not be needed anymore - users will be able to change the property easily.
