Excel limitation

In Excel when I want to “Move or Copy” a sheet by right clicking the sheet’s tab, it says that if I have cells with more than 255 characters, those cells will be truncated in the copy and that I need to use a different method to copy the sheet. Now… I say, why? What lazy Microsoft programmers decided that such a basic function needs to have such a trivial-to-fix limitation? Of course when you have a database or something where you need to limit the data per field, it makes sense to have a limit on the number of characters. But for a copy-from-here-to-there operation, where the method of how it’s done is irrelevant, what possibly rationale could there be? Someone get Matt Lee to look into this!
