If there's no pre-existing menu item then the menu item description is auto-filled with the term description. At the moment there's no check to see if the term description is longer than the allowed menu item description (128 characters).

This can be fixed by cropping the term description as put into the menu item description by changing line 292 in edit_term.module from

'#default_value' => $item['description'] ? $item['description'] : $term->description,

to

'#default_value' => $item['description'] ? $item['description'] : substr($term->description, 0 , 128),

Yep, true enough. That bothered me a little also.

Also, this applies to the menu title, too (though I suppose one is much less likely to have a 128 character long term title).
