Text area field truncate text

I have a text area field; it works fine but now I see that it truncates the text after X characters. I can type as long as I want, but it trunctates after saving to X characters number.

I use CB core ajax field, and the text area field is editable by front end with ajax. If I edit it from the profile it correctly shows me all the text in the editor view, when I try to edit it from profile edit menù it shows me only the truncated text in edit area.

So, the text is correctly stored into DB but not correcty dispalyed in the field.

A bug?

The Text Area field has a Size and a Max Length parameter.
Did you set these values?

Yes I've setted all 2 values to 65000 but no way. I've solved changing the DB type from Varchar(255) to LONGTEXT setting it to 65535.

Could this be a problem with future upgrades?

Anyway I don't know why before it worked fine and now not and I had to change the DB type to let it work.

Also, now in the CB tools check for CB fields it show me a fix 'cause Table #__comprofiler Column cb_textareafield type is longtext instead of varchar(255)

Textarea fields are "mediumtext", which is 16,777,215 maximum characters. This seams far sufficient enough. Text fields however are 255. Are you sure you created a textarea field and not a text field?

Yes, I can confirm that it is a text area field. What happened? Maybe the fix tool...?

Did you edit cb.core.xml by chance? Are you sure you're using CB 1.8? Are you using latest CB Core Fields Ajax? See professional downloads section for latest.

The below is taken directly from cb.core.xml of CB 1.8, which determines its database type and it's mediumtext.
