No support for table comments of up to 2048 chars with MySQL 5.5?

Hi,
MySQL 5.5 supports extra-long table and column comments according to the reference (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/create-table.html)
Column comments may reach up to 1024 bytes and table comments up to 2048 bytes.
However, in HeidiSQL 6.0.0.3745 I do not seem to be able to make such big comment fields. The textbox does not allow for it.
Can you allow for extra-long comments depending on MySQL version?
Thanks,
Steve

Done in r3746

great, does it also allow for longer column comments? if yes, the change log should say so.

Column comments are not restricted at all - guess you just assumed they are did you?

ok, i didn't test it, i just assumed that column comment length was restricted in heidi as it was for tables.

In any case, the reference says: "A comment for a column can be specified with the COMMENT option, up to 1024 characters long (255 characters before MySQL 5.5.3). "

So, I should restrict that length in Heidi already? I think some things don't need to be checked twice (Heidi + Server).

I agree, unrestricted is fine.
