The KCrash That Konqi Offers To Save

# SUMMARY

Submitting too many characters into Dr Konqi caused it to render a nonsensical error message, and offer no way to revise the comment so that it could be submitted.

# STEPS TO REPRODUCE

I submitted 79 974 characters. (I presume that *this* is the problem, although somehow, some text was also converted to CHN mojibake).

# OBSERVED RESULT

I see:

> Failed to submit bug report: Error transferring https://bugs.kde.org/rest/bug?token=REDACTED - server replied:

...where `REDACTED` is a valid token.

# EXPECTED RESULT

That many characters should never have been accepted. However, if they were somehow, I should be informed of how to report this submission failure as a bug.

If that's undesirable, I should have been informed what caused the failure, and how I should revise the message to permit submission.

# ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Konqi isn't the sole BR wizard with this problem, per https://github.com/abrt/gnome-abrt/issues/379#issue-3097850563.

This was once solved for backtraces at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=248807, presumably by truncating long ones.

Ah, heck. I just submitted my token. How do I revoke that...?
