+Summary: StatusBar displays too much text
+
+Description of Problem:
+The documentation for StatusBar.Text states:
+The StatusBar control displays only the first 127 characters of a string.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+Compile and run the following program.
+using System.Text;
+using System.Windows.Forms;
+class TestForm : Form {
+    static void Main() {
+        Application.Run(new TestForm());
+    }
+    public TestForm() {
+        StringBuilder b = new StringBuilder();
+        b.Append(' ');
+        for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
+            b.Append(b);
+        b[127] = 'a';
+        StatusBar s = new StatusBar();
+        s.SizingGrip = false;
+        s.Text = b.ToString();
+        Controls.Add(s);
+        Width = (int)s.CreateGraphics().MeasureString(s.Text, 
+s.Font).Width + 100;
+    }
+}
+
+Actual Results:
+"a" is visible.
+
+Expected Results:
+"a" is not visible.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always (on the SVN version).
+
+Additional Information:
+I can't imagine someone relying on this limitation.
