 Potlatch2 crashed three times in 24 hours when I tried to edit a textfield
 in the advanced properties tab. The advanced tab does NOT always reload
 completely when clicking the ADVANCED button, but if the advanced tab
 appears with all properties, it is sometimes hard to remove some
 unnecessary properties like TIGER ID. It happens when I tried to merge two
 ways with very long TIGER ID tags and to edit/remove the long TIGER ID
 tags. Is there any restriction for the length of any textfield that will
 be exceeded by a simple TIGER ID or by special characters within the TIGER
 ID?

 Starting the Windows Task manager with Strg+Alt+Del makes the Flash player
 crashing and nothing than a white screen appears on the browser. I have
 rated it as blocker because losing some kilometers of personal effort
 simply sucks. Not touching TIGER IDs until saving is a workaround that
 enabled to get my data into the database, but it is no perfect solution,
 of course.
