Longer molts get the last few characters removed after posting? #158

Describe the bug If you make a molt near to or at the character limit WITH PARAGRAPH BREAKS, the last few characters disappear when the molt is posted. Editing the molt to add things back in works fine.

Yikes. Looks like Python and JavaScript are disagreeing on the length of the string. We'll look into this.

The issue was that the submitted content used DOS-style line-endings. That meant that each newline was denoted by both the \r and \n characters as opposed to just \n, causing Python to count newlines twice and trim the remaining characters.
