When you enter a string into an edit box in PuTTY's GUI configuration, if PuTTY interprets the string as Unicode, then it is accidentally truncated at 127 characters.
As of PuTTY 0.82, we're in the process of gradually transitioning PuTTY's configuration in the direction of better Unicode support. So this doesn't affect all strings in the configuration. But it does affect filenames, in particular. So if you configure (for example) a pathname of a private key file to load, or a pathname of a log file to write, and that pathname is longer than 127 characters, PuTTY 0.82 will truncate the pathname to 127 characters and try to use the short version.
