Public bug reported:

In users-admin (a.k.a. Users Settings), under Manage Groups/Group
Settings, while the listed groups available may have more than 16
characters, when viewing a group's properties the Group name field in
Basic Settings only shows the first 16 characters (e.g. "chrome-remote-
desktop" is truncated as "chrome-remote-de") . Additionally, this
prevents creating a group with a name longer than 16 characters using
users-admin.

(I understand that the system limit may have been 16 characters
historically; man groupadd reports it is currently 32 characters.)

** Affects: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
