New patch broke some character descriptions

Yeah, this seems to have happened to many 'fight a boss' character descriptions - the default text no longer takes no space.
Also, arc space seems to have jumped again. Had one sitting at 99.98%, opened the edit window, now it's at 100.67%. No errors reported, nothign different from yesterday that I can see.

Have you tried clicking Default?

I noticed that a captive you free in one of my missions lost her animation (and it's no longer on the list of animations for a captive despite being on the list for bosses), which she had no trouble performing before.
Additionally, under her name it now gives her group as "WXYP Radio" (not the exact callsign for the station I don't think, but that's not important). I thought it used to say "captive".
There's no way to give her a group, other than to make a custom character for a captive to rescue. I'm sure the group listed for her now is whatever her template belongs to, but it sure makes for an interesting non-sequitor in the mission.

Yep, same problem, but only with captives in my case. Clicking "Default" didn't fix it. I had to delete some of the description....which meant it was no longer the default description, so it now takes up precious precious file space.

The workaround is to just delete the description text every time you edit.
It will revert to the default text in the mission when you have 0 characters.
Yes this is a new bug.

I found the "Captured (Energy Field)" was missing for my captives when I went in to fix everything in my arcs (on two accounts) that this patch and the new power assignments broke. Same animation?

It is the Default description that is too long. But, yes, I did type something random in and then click Default, to try that.

In my case it was the Captured Casting Law Rune....or something like that. It's still on the Boss list, but not on the captive list.
On the plus side, the captive list had Captured Casting Shield, which is the effect I originally wanted and it was not on the list before.
I also found another problem. My end boss had been set as an EB (spawning as a Boss for single player heroic). That was more powerful than I wanted him, given it's a low-level arc, but, it was better than upping his power levels over normal.
Now that they've reassigned which powers you get at the higher settings, I was able to make one of his powers Hard, and drop him to Boss level (Lt. for single player on Heroic).
Tested it with a 6th level toon, and he spawned as a blue 4th level Lt.......which of course made him a joke, regardless of his powers.
WTH???!!!!

I have Sister Psyche as an ally and Malaise as a captive in one of my arcs. When I got the new patch today, their developer made description is now throwing my arc into Error, because they have 972 and 650 of 300 characters. This problem did not exist pre-patch.
