Summary	0015868: Filename length is not checked
Description	It appears possible to upload a file with a length longer as defined in the DB. Definition is 83 positions but one can load a file with a longer name. This leads to truncation of the file which on it's turn can lead to poor responce of the mantis system due to missing extension.
Steps To Reproduce	Simply upload a file with a name of more than 83 positions.
Additional Information	Suggest to increase fieldlength to 128.
Tags	No tags attached.

dregad 2013-05-16 10:17 developer ~0036875	Hi cas, I am not able to reproduce this at 83 chars. The DB field size in mantisbug(file\|project)_table (filename) is VARCHAR(250). I was able to successfully upload a file with a name of that length without issues. Although I do confirm that beyond 250 chars, the filename is silently truncated.

cas 2013-05-16 12:42 reporter ~0036877	Strange, I checked here on my test system with a fresh install and that fully matches your story. The database I encountered this problem with, has been upgraded multiple times over the years. Actually was surprised to find a length of 83 anyway. Possibly some upgrade did not fully finish in the past on our end. So please resolve this non-issue (I have no problem with truncating at 250!).
