display text disconnects microbit if string is longer than > 17 characters

[Wowfunhappy]

display text 12345678901234567 delay 120 ms works as expected.

display text 123456789012345678 delay 120 ms causes the microbit to disconnect, and nothing to appear on screen. I assume this means the microbit crashed.

I replicated this with two different microbits, both v2. They were connected via Web Bluetooth, not Scratch Link, for whatever that is worth.

Thank you!
