Description

Hello everyone,

Well, I tried to calculate a new field using the Field Calculator, and I tried to create a text field, 255 length. I assigned it to be the result of the following expression:

geomToWKT($geometry)

When I close the parentheses, the screen updates with the preview result of the expression, enlarging the window to a very big size. This output preview should be truncated when text is larger then a number of characters.

QGIS Version: 2.6;
OS: Linux Mint 17;

Occurs with shapefiles and sqlite. Probably other sources too.
