I strongly agree with that.

Some time ago, when Cedric introduced that "enhancement" on the FR users 
list, I did emphasize the drawbacks noibs and some others have explained 
here. All what I received where names and the suggestion to go to the ux 
list to discuss that.

I think the matter is not unimportant enough to be discussed in some 
hidden list while most *users* are here.

Anyway, that functionality (the text limit suppress) is not complete 
until some option is added somewhere to get it back if one so desires. 
This alone stops me from using Writer v.3.5 on a regular basis.
