Steps to reproduce:
Set nick with a length of 31 characters
Actual results:
It worked
Expected results:
Limit should be lower, breaks some clients
this server advertises the nick length correctly via 005 RPL_ISUPPORT:
.. NICKLEN=31 ..
i'd argue this is a problem with your client, not the server.

What do you define as a client being broken? If the client has a column for nicks and that column dynamically adjusts based on the length of the longest nick, that isn't broken, that's just an unfortunate design decision.

Sorry, I didn't notice your attachment when I posted my first comment. That seems like they set a maximum width on the nick column, but forgot to actually shorten nicks that go over that maximum width. Since your client still runs fine, and it is purely a visual bug, I wouldn't classify it as your client breaking.
Also, while I am the person in question who is taking advantage of the long nick length, I won't mind if Mozilla IRC chooses to reduce the nick length limit. But for the time being the limit is 31, so I assume Mozilla IRC wants people to be able to have long nicks like mine.

Leaning on the side of "this is a client issue".
