For the last few days, I was having issues with Features exporting Panels handlers and Views. Just today, I noticed this:
My Feature's name was 41 characters long. When I downloaded the feature, I saw that *.pages_default.inc and *.views_default.inc had been truncated to *.pages_default.in and *.views_default.in.

I created a new feature, this time with a name much shorter, and the files were named correctly so my panels handlers and views exported properly.

Are you suggesting that the Create form provide an error if the Feature name is more than 40 characters?or somehow identifying and removing that limitation?

Patches welcome. :)

I am experiencing the same issue. My feature name is quite long and adding some component's name seems to fail.
