Attributes Text Field input missing in admin orders

[ShopVille]

Hello,

I appreciate if anyone can shed some light, recently (i did not install any new modules except updating user tracking mod) i started seeing something strange, i have quite a few text field/textarea attributes on my products, i usually take the info from the admin lately i've been noticing strange text such as only 2 3 letters only when i contacted the customer i realized that the text is being cut off on our end, when looking in the order confirmation email but i and the customer get the text is there as it should.

TIA

Does the problem go away when you back out the updates to the mod?
