Problem: Can‘t type more than 400 characters into PR comment

[sideshowbarker]

Problem: When I’m in the PR view and I use the c shortcut and start to type a comment to add to a PR page in GitHub: After typing exactly 400 characters, the gh-dash UI won’t let me type any further.

When I try to type any more than 400 characters, nothing happens — the characters I type don’t get added to the comment-editing buffer.

Is there some way I can make gh-dash let me type more words?

Is there some default limit gh-dash itself is enforcing? Or is it instead maybe some limit set by the gh pr comment CLI? Or by the GitHub API?

Base environment: macOS 15.3 + homebrew, with the following gh-dash and gh version info:

$ gh dash --version
gh-dash version dev
goos: darwin
goarch: arm64
module version: v4.11.0, checksum: h1:KkPGPlZxy5te9ouLW17J+wY1j7igXHmCPdTqoIH93CA=

$ gh --version
gh version 2.65.0 (2025-01-06)
