Simon:
I and @garrensmith just discussed this topic in IRC. TL;DR this is could be
correct behaviour for Fauxton, but 1) it's not oblivious 2) 90% users will
come to Fuaxton with Futon experience and such behaviour is completely
unexpected to them and could be only recognized as a bug.
If so and it's expected, Fauxton shouldn't provide options to select that
doesn't works and it should explicitly declare "why functionality which I have
used two minutes ago is missed". If you take a look on screen, you'll didn't
notice any page size cap. Only 1) if you open Query Options, but it consumes a
lot of visible space to keep it always opened 2) if you take a look on URL, but
there could be a lot of parameters and @deathbearbrown going to get rid them
from there.
So, whatever the behavior is, there are problems with it.
