I ran into this earlier and tried to ask about it, but wasn't very clear. When you urlEncode the field it turns it into one huge unbroken line, and certain lengths of unbroken lines cause fields some problems it seems. The line length you get from the urlEncode is within the accepted limits according to docs, but something seems broken in fields. To see this in action, try this stack.. Click add data several times till the line length gets to 14700 and poof. Only the overflow shows. I didn't bother to find the exact breakover point, but there it is. Also, behavior varies with line wrap on and off. With line wrap off, things poof when you get to to 8400 line length, but the overflow never shows. So my feeling is its a field problem, not an encode problem.
