This is a mild issue. Should probably cap the number of characters possible in that little text box. Otherwise people are going to write novels using this.

By the way you can do this by:
1. Create a group and give it a huge name.
2. Hook the new group with the epic long name to some normal component like a blend component.
3. Make blend component into a group.
4. Results in a HUGE component!

Looks epic indeed!

(I guess we should lower the character limit for the input name field).

Skybase, I cannot reproduce the first step, "Create a group and give it a huge name." Is it still reproducible on the latest beta (released October 19th 2012)?

The problem unfortunately still occurs. I'm using the latest beta too.

I can still type really really long words into the text box, and if you do steps 2 and 3 as described... it still creates a huge component.

Thanks. We're looking into this. Should be fixed by the next beta.
