When using a!paragraphField, we have refreshAfter: set to "KEYPRESS". We want to limit the character count in the paragraph field, which works by truncating in the saveInto, and we can provide a live character count in the instructions below, however the user may still enter additional characters into the paragraph, and they don't get cut off until the field loses focus (they tab or click outside of it). Is there any way to immediately reflect the truncated value in the paragraph field while they are typing?

@sachinr: the issue jason is looking to fix, though, is a way to prevent the user from continuing to type in the text entry box after the size limit has been reached. doing the a!save as you mention does only save the first 100 characters, however it doesn't update the actual contents of the box until they've un-focused. Nothing short of disabling the box actually interrupts the user's input, and disabling is not the desired behavior here. IMHO based on current OOB capabilities, this situation will require compromise on one thing or another.
