CMS Artificial Character Limit in Articles?
 

Last night I encountered a problem when trying to post an article in 4.0.3. It appears that my post is too long and will therefore not commit when I hit the save button. Note that this problem persists in 4.0.4 and with all the bugs in that version I reverted back to 4.0.3.

When I save a draft I don't get any error messages warning me of an exceeded character limit like others have been reporting, but instead the page goes completely blank. A refresh does nothing and I have to instead go to the address bar and press enter to commit the URL. The article only displays the most recent saved version and basically ignores the longer, more updated version.

How can this be fixed (or what is a work around besides spanning multiple pages?) The article I'm posting is admittedly quite large but I can't (don't want to) parse it.

Here is an example of such an article, though this one is much shorter:
