Description:
A table comment cannot contain more then 60 chracters. This is only enough for a very short description.

How to repeat:
alter table table_name comment = "aaa*(60 times)bbb".

Suggested fix:
The comment field should be bigger (at least 255 characters).

Thank you for a reasonable feature request. Table comments should be as long as column comments, 255 characters. Just for consistency.
