I installed drupal 4.5 and i have been encountering problems when i post content that is enclosed withing formatting tags and longer than the length specified in the content settings ( the default is 600)

If i use any formatting like <em> or other tags then the teaser truncates the text upto 600 characters and posts it in the main page. The problem is that the TAG is not closed at this point and the remaining page is also generated where all the remaining teasers are displayed as if they have been enclosed in <em> tags.

I think this is a bug. Or if there is a workaround to this please let me know.

Also another problem is if i set the length at 600 and i post a blog in which each line has one character on each line then the teaser will be 600 or so lines long, which kinda goes against the whole point of having a teaser.

Hope someone can help me out...
