The edit summary <input> already has a maxlength of 200 at least since version
1.1.0.

Is the problem specific to a particular character set, wiki or browser?

Just a note on this: currently the comment fields in the database have a limit of 255
_bytes_, rather than 255 characters. In UTF-8 encoding, 200 characters can be longer, up to
600 bytes for many Asian languages (800 for pathological cases using very high-numbered
characters).
