[Lazarus] SessionProperties limited size problem

[Paulo Malheiros]

Hello Mattias,

I made a test Application in Linux - SVN 14419
Added 23 TEdit to Form1 and its SessionProperties

   TForm1 = class(TForm)
     Edit1: TEdit;
     Edit10: TEdit;
     Edit11: TEdit;
     Edit12: TEdit;
     Edit13: TEdit;
     Edit14: TEdit;
     Edit15: TEdit;
     Edit16: TEdit;
     Edit17: TEdit;
     Edit18: TEdit;
     Edit19: TEdit;
     Edit2: TEdit;
     Edit20: TEdit;
     Edit21: TEdit;
     Edit22: TEdit;
     Edit23: TEdit;
     Edit3: TEdit;
     Edit4: TEdit;
     Edit5: TEdit;
     Edit6: TEdit;
     Edit7: TEdit;
     Edit8: TEdit;
     Edit9: TEdit;
     IniPropStorage: TIniPropStorage;
     procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
   private
     { private declarations }
   public
     { public declarations }
   end;

All were saved correctly. Closing Lazarus and checking "unit1.lfm" I got

   SessionProperties =
'Edit1.Text;Edit10.Text;Edit11.Text;Edit12.Text;Edit13.Text;Edit14.Text;Edit15.Text;Edit16.Text;Edit17.Text;Edit18.Text;Edit19.Text;Edit2.Text;Edit20.Text;Edit3.Text;Edit4.Text;Edit5.Text;Edit6.Text;Edit7.Text;Edit8.Text;Edit9.Text;Edit21.Text;Edit22.Text;Edit23.Text'

After reopening Lazarus and opening SessionProperties Dialog one  
property was missing.
After saving and exiting Lazarus reopened "unit1.lfm" I got

   SessionProperties =
';Edit1.Text;Edit10.Text;Edit11.Text;Edit12.Text;Edit13.Text;Edit14.Text;Edit15.Text;Edit16.Text;Edit17.Text;Edit18.Text;Edit19.Text;Edit2.Text;Edit20.Text;Edit21.Text;Edit22.Text;Edit3.Text;Edit4.Text;Edit5.Text;Edit6.Text;Edit7.Text;Edit8.Text;Edit9.Text'

Edit23.Text is missing.

Finally, If I change TStringPropertyEditor.GetEditLimit in  
PropEdits.pp, from 255 to a
bigger value all works fine.

function TStringPropertyEditor.GetEditLimit: Integer;
begin
   if GetPropType^.Kind = tkString then
     Result := GetTypeData(GetPropType)^.MaxLength else
     //Result := 255;
     Result := 1023;
end;

Is it possible to make SessionProperties without limit?

Regards,
Paulo
