Text area field truncate text

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

Code:

<field type="textarea" label="Text Area"> <data name="" nametype="namesuffix" type="sql:mediumtext" null="true" default="NULL" strict="false" />

Yes latest version of both. Also disabling the core plugin, same issue

I recommend checking cb.core.xml to ensure the textarea field has the right type. Not sure why it's not mediumtext. This is also the type it uses during CB tools checking.

that's my cb.core.xml:

same as yours

Strange, not sure what is changing its type then. I suggest editing the column directly in database then and changing its type to mediumtext and simply ignore the check in CB > Tools.

Yes, that's what I've already done; but why Tools tells me to fix it? It's a bug? If I should fix something else in future I cannot use the tools 'cause it will "fix" also the text area fields and then again it will set it as varchar(255).

The tools shouldn't tell you it's varchar as the XML clearly shows mediumtext. I suppose something is overriding the field perhaps. Earlier versions of CB Core Fields Ajax overrode fields, but if you've latest that's not an issue anymore.
