Resolved Bug involving fonts and message length

[TechionPrime41 🌳]

Okay, so for some reason, some fonts appear to make message lengths "longer"... which doesn't make much sense, since it's a font and doesn't really add any additional text! I did take screenshots of this happening after trying to change the font of one of my messages. From what I can tell, the length of the font name seems to contribute to the message's length, once changed. (Which explains why it won't let me switch the font back to normal on that message.) And yes, it's the same message for all of them; the actual message length remains unchanged.

Spoiler: Message in Courier New(Fails to save)

Spoiler: Message in Georgia(Works fine)

Spoiler: Message in Tahoma(Works fine)

Spoiler: Message in Trebuchet MS(Fails to save... despite being the default font!)

Spoiler: Message in Verdana(Works fine)

It's because any font other than the default one (Arial) inserts BB code to change the font

And it's the length of the BB code version that is used to compute the length of the text. Changing from the default color, size, even the bold/italic/etc. adds characters to the text.

Not really a bug, just the way it works.

Ah. Thank you for clarifying this!
