Ah....I found it. It was reslashing a slashed string... Internally, foo'bar'baz is foo\'bar\'baz. Then when you edited, it re-slashed conlang, even though you made no changes. So foo\'bar\'baz became foo\\'bar\\'baz...and so on.

Teach me to rush through something. I swapped the max_length and "size of the box" values, but only on the edit screen. It's fixed now.
