I don't know where this fixed length is used.

Maybe it's the text entry used in the combo box. If that's the case, we could simply make a call to gtk_entry_set_max_length() and set the max length to 65535, which should be enough for some *very* long filters :-)

I currently don't have a clue if this will work, and cannot test this at the moment.
