How positive are you on this? Because, I can add info on the the database side and it will not display all the characters in the window. Nothing fancy, just general html.

The only limit of data in FCKeditor is the memory of your computer and the CPU to handle all that data.
This isn't a refresh issue, source doesn't even display all the characters. I have 3 G of ram free, the database field is set to longtext...4,294,967,295 or 4GB (232 – 1) characters. I get the same results in IE 7, Firefox, and chrome. I'm trying to put in 96,000+ characters.
This is either a limitation in the field, editor, or browser...that's why I question your anwser.
snoeberger is correct. There is a limit on the number of characters displayed in FCKeditor. I don't know what the exact limit is, however it is "somewhat less" than 2 to the 32nd power that mysql allows.
I too have the same issue. Changed database to Blob and still unable to extend the amount of text. I reviewed the content in the database and it actually has more the characters, it just won't display them all. Once submitted, the code displayed in the html view cuts off the rest of the text.
After running some tests, the length I am getting is 64,000 characters but I suspect it displays a few dozen less.
Where is this setting and how can I increase it? Is it an FCKeditor version issue? I am using Coldfusion 7 and the operating system does not seem to play a part in the issue.
I think I just hit on the reason it is being truncated. After digging deeper, it looks like CF7 has a default limitation of 64,000 characters in its buffer.
"The default buffer size, used if disable_clob is not specified or True. Default is 64000 bytes."

ive encountered a similar problem before..at first i thought it was because of character limitation of the editor but my variable that catches the characters is displaying them all..so i got into thinking that maybe its because of the characters themselves as they are being passed by the mysql query.. so i added some slashes to escape special characters.. i used the addslashes() function.. (im using php btw) and everything turned out fine now
If you are using FCKeditor with PHP and MS SQL, there are 2 settings in the php.ini file which affect the number of characters passed to a db field.
Open the php.ini and find the MSSQL configuration directives then look for 2 settings that are by default switched to off and as a result their limit is around 4,000 chars.
