==================
When exporting to a QueXML PDF the default size of the “Array Text” input fields seems to be 10. The only way I can get it longer is to enter into “Input “ “Maximum Characters”. But I don’t want the online version to max out at a number. Is there not a reverse setting that says the pdf input will be a larger number (20 or 30). A minimum number of boxes (spaces) instead of a maximum. 
Thanks 

Anybody?

Well I’m not aware that it is an issue. Is it? Or is this by design?

Obviously it is an issue, as YOU related it here.

Well, my meaning was is it an issue of Limesurvey or an issue with me not understanding how it works. Reporting a bug because of something I’m doing wrong just doesn’t seem right. But I have reported it now.

You do it as carefully as possible.

Ask on forum : one developer and one power user tell you to report issue : you can report.

We can make mistakes, but here it's us.

I think if Denis asks you to make a bug report, it is safe to create a bug report. And even if it is not a bug, there won't be any issues. He is a long standing LS developer with a lot of experience. The maxium that can happen is that after the developers investigate the issue, they might tell it is not a bug. But in this case it sounds like a bug.

You did what you could do. You asked in the forum. And it doesn't seem to look like you are doing anything wrong / we have no solution for you how to solve it. So the next step is to create a bug report so that the developers can have a look at this issue and check what is going on.

Thanks. I did get a bug report reply. The reply suggests that most people probably don’t need a larger field on paper. I still think 10 is short. It seems it is designed this way.
So that others know, the solution is to either set the maximum characters for a number that works on paper and online, or to edit the QueXML file “ to be "longtext” for area type questions.

WTF ?

Can you give the mantis issue number ?

OK, thank you for feeding this back. One can see it like that.

Here the bug in Mantis:
