Subject: Character Limits in Comments Section???

This happens to me a LOT, and it has seriously hampered how often I post here as a direct result. When I go to type into the comments section, it seems an AWFUL LOT OF THE TIME, the danged thing INSISTS I am over the limit, even though the 'max 4096 characters, x-number left' thing shows characters remaining unused!!!

Example. RIght NOW, I'm trying to post up an image, it is telling me that I have 43 characters left, and yet, EVERY TIME I go to hit upload-and-save, it returns the error telling me I am over limit!!!!!!

So which is it?????????? Do I have 43 left, and am NOT over the limit, or is the 43 free characters showing NOT an accurate statement??? If it's NOT accurate, maybe you might want to fix it??? Because it is VERY frustrating from the poster's point of view to try to put stuff in comments, see they have characters left over, and then they CANT SAVE the image because the system STILL insists they are OVER the allotted 4096 characters.

I miss NOT having that limit there. I really really do. I NEVER had this sort of problem until this was instituted in the gallery, and I have reached a point with this that I am SO sick and tired of fighting to get an image up because of the stupid character limit being buggy, that I have greatly reduced the number of image posts I'm making.

So what exactly is going on with this??? Why is it telling me I have 43 characters left (or however many), and then it still will NOT LET ME save the image on upload???? Why????
