Vish (vish) has assigned this bug to you for nautilus-share in ubuntu:

In Nautilus, when creating a share, the "Sharing Options" dialogue does
not notify the user that the share name is too long until the dialogue
is saved and re-opened. This could cause a user to do all kinds of
troubleshooting that isn't required.

Say I enter "thisnameistoodarnlongtobeasharename" and click "Create
share". The dialogue will allow me to click "Create share" with that
name in place. Upon re-opening, the dialogue now says "Share name is too
long" at the bottom, and the text box is shaded yellow.

The length/validity of the share name should be checked upon the click
of the "Create share" button, and an error message be thrown up (in the
form of a dialogue box, or at least a red-X-type of icon and bold text
*next to the text field*) if the name is not valid. The dialogue should
not allow a user to "Create share" with a name that is too long.

Thanks!
