It's a "free" text field. So the problem doesn't seem to be related to the character limiting code for the directory name fields.

I suspect this "pre-linux-fconfig-changes" commit:

commit d629d3818f981c74bf715a8dc0e4059cdcae7973
Date:   Fri Feb 24 22:18:12 2023 +0100

    2.2.1.0-Beta
    Switched from conio getch() to windows console api functions for key input handling in FConfigW.


Can you test this one:

To make sure?


 CN> Is anyone else having this issue? Michiel?

I haven't heard about it. So I suspect it's somehow related to your Spanish windows version.


Wilfred.
