@feditips I just helped someone get some on an image. The result was under the 1500char limit in the image editor screen, but when I hover over the image on my server, I notice that the alttxt is truncated as if a char limit was exceeded.

Is this a bug? just a limit on my server? will vision impaired people with alttxt readers experience the same truncation?

screenshots included of picture edit pop up and of the resulting hover over on the post.

and this is the actual post: m.ai6yr.org/@exador23/11134885

screenshot of "edit media" pop-up where you enter alttxt.

shows the image (just text of a Mexican Wolf description) on the right.  On the left is the alttxt field showing 260 characters remaining in the limit.

screenshot of the resulting post with the alttxt pop-up activated over the image (text description of a Mexican Wolf).

The end of the alttxt that I entered in the previous screenshot is truncated.

@exador23 @ai6yr

As far as I know, screen reader apps will read the entire text, even if browsers truncate it.

Perhaps @weirdwriter can confirm?
