--- Comment #14 from trowelandmattock at yahoo.co.uk ---
Great to hear this issue is getting fixes:)

To add a little note:

CLOB fields which are larger than standard VARCHAR max do not display correctly
in LO - they appear to be truncated to VARCHAR max, eg in form text-fields, and
(unsurprisingly) in calc cells....
...since there is also an issue exporting .csv directly from Base+Firebird
(oops-lost link) this becomes a potentially big issue>>

ie: CLOB fields larger than VARCHAR max may become truncated and irrecoverable
by 'normal' means !!! :O

(perhaps a LO project could  be fully reconstructed in external DB...but not
exactly for the standard user)
