This is a welcome change, but what would make it even more awesome is a little red bar at the last character that fits into the maxlength. A semi-common thing I do is paste a long thing of text into an exerpt text area, let it truncate to maxlength and manually tweak the ending. A little red bar to tell me where it would've gotten truncated would make that still possible, while fixing the dangerous behavior with truncating fields.

- drdec 6y agoWhy not a context menu entry to truncate the content to the correct length? Or even better, some kind of warning when the paste happens, giving the user the option of truncating, canceling or continuing anyway?
- aasasd 6y agoI'd suggest putting a red background behind the excess text. However, this quickly bumps into websites' customization of input fields.
