manage bookmarks, copy/cut/paste truncates URL

Caveat bookmarker:

I wanted to move some of my bookmarklets (javascript stored as bookmarks) from one folder to another. Unfortunately, in the Manage Bookmarks screen, I selected a group of them, chose 'Cut', chose another folder, and hit 'Paste', and I wish I had picked 'Copy' instead of 'Cut'..

Regardless of whether you choose copy or cut, if you move bookmarks with long URLs this way, they become truncated to 128 characters. Much bookmarklet coding, zapped. Arg. I do have a back-up from about a month ago, so some were saved, but some were not. (If this were my home computer, no problem, but my work computer is highly constrained, so back-ups are manual and less frequent. I've learned my lesson from this and will be storing a copy of all my bookmarklet code in a separate file from now on.)

and I just found in opera:config "Maximum length of url" = 128

Why?? Why does Opera need this limited by default?


Changed mine to -1, tested, works fine; no truncation.
