Obsctructive character limit in company listings

I was adding a short film and was not able to properly add two miscellaneous company credits. They read as follows: "Thanks to the University of Georgia Departments of Film Studies, Entertainment and Media Studies".

That would logically mean "University of Georgia Department of Film Studies [us]" and "University of Georgia Department of Entertainment and Media Studies [us]".

Except I can't type in both of those, since cursor hits an invisible wall. Needless to say, it's the first time I see this and it's highly unlikely that this was a feature before, since among the suggestions are companies with easily twice the amount of characters in their title. Is that a bug?

Hi, Mykola:

There is an intentional limit of 50 characters when entering a new company name. However, there is a simple trick to bypass this limit, by using the Inspect Element tool of your browser.

I've made a brief video explaining it (I'm on Firefox 106.0.5).

Hope it helps!

P.S. I sincerely hope that you and your family are well. 💪💪

Слава Україні! Героям слава!

@ljdoncel​ Greatest thanks!

It's a bit weird to even have a character limit on company names, but at least there is some way around this. :)

P.S. Great thanks for caring! I'm more or less fine. Героям слава!
