This isn't a bug, it's by design: #9357.

I would argue that this probably should be a bug. The description is used as an identifier in the UI and the field is even a textfield and not a text area. I think we should either change description back to a varchar in the database or reinstate a limit to OS description. Unlimited is too long for operatingsystems index, architecture edit, etc.
