I have

set as my location (`edit-location`) in my profile ([Profile - rokejulianlockhart - Discourse Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/u/rokejulianlockhart/summary)). Unlike the pronoun (`user-ember117`) field, however, this field’s data in truncated (in my case) to

> ```txt
> `pwsh-preview -c "Invoke-WebRequest 'https://gitlab.com/api/v4/users/7984176?access_token=glpat-KMNv5hmu7xu
>

the `u` is partially cut, so it is rather obvious.

I believe that the location field should instead be wrapped, like the pronoun field.

You seem to be located in a very very very strange place third=“Beedell”, first=“Roke”, second=“Julian Lockhart”

Indeed, although because I’ve 2500+ online accounts, at least 30 or so of which are Discourse, most of this stuff is automated, so at times it’s vaguely unusually formatted.

At least I get to test the limits frequently.
