The 259 limit is by design…(I guess because the ListView was originally designed for showing lists of files, etc – so the limit probably comes from the file system’s MAX_PATH limitation – I don’t know…just a guess!?).
The item does store the full text though – it’s just truncated for display. So you should be able to override it to display the full text, or maybe find another way to show the full information in your UI like the suggestion here…
