In the Java client, for text field entry, the client does not allow the user to continue typing beyond the max length of the text field; all keystrokes are rejected. However, if text is copied from an external source (Notepad, Word, etc.), and pasted into the text field, it appears to allow lengths greater than the length of the defined field. Upon saving, the pasted text is truncated appropriately to the field length; however, it could give the user the mistaken impression that the entire text string was saved, when in fact it wasn't. Starting in APPX release 4.2, the text from the clipboard will be truncated and a beep will indicate that the incoming data does not fit in the field.
