** Description changed:

  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.)
+ 
+ Present in both 14.04 (gnome-system-tools 3.0.0-3ubuntu4) and 14.10
+ (3.0.0-3ubuntu5).
