product description truncated

[thefuss]

Is the description truncated when you go to edit the product in your admin?
How did you enter the product? Did you type in the data manually? or did you try some sort of addon or manual database import trick?

when i initially set up the description and "preview" it in admin before updating the product, the entire length of text is there. After i click update, the remaining text is truncated and cuts off around 275 characters.

i am entering the product manually. i have my product information in an excel spreadsheet that i am cutting and pasting info from. i have also typed the data up manually without cutting and pasting. no tricks here. im having trouble with the basics!
