The only place I see a limit of 30 is in the query_popup function used for querying for things like search strings, symbol names in the go-to command, etc. in menuconfig. The answer is: maybe. The underlying problem here is that the prompt string and the string editing area both eat screen width. 30 is about the largest limit that doesn't blow up the configurator when combined with the longest prompt strings. -- Eric S.
