Title:
users-admin: group name limited to 16 characters
Status in “gnome-system-tools” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
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.)
