Bug in News Block - News Trim Length doesnt work with bbcode

I don't know if any of you caught this but in in IntegraMod 1.4 ( <2> News Management -> Configuration you have the News Trim Length set to 250. And you make a thread with 1000 characters. And you format the text as such:

[align=center.][b.]put 1,000 characters here[./b][./align]


the entire 1,000 characters will show on the homepage instead of the 250 character snipet as it should.

This dramatically stretches the center portal and makes the site look very unprofessional and illegitimate for long threads. Yes I know the easy way is to just not post it as news, but the code should still do what it is supposed to do.

Is there a quick fix for this?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT

This does work however with HTML equivalents if you have HTML enabled.
So for example if you have

<center><b>put 1,000 characters here</b></center>

Then that will work.

Interesting... The HTML screws up the next news article on the block, eventhough all tags are properly closed.
