By default, a light gray vertical line appears at column 80 in the editor, indicating where a line exceeds 80 characters. You can set this text limit indicator to another value from the Options dialog. If you change the font, Aqua Data Studio plots the line based on the word space of the set font.
This table shows the comparison between the default view and when you set a new font.

Scenario 1: In the default view, the text limit line setting is set to 80 and the font is set to Monospaced, Plain, 12

By default, the maximum content size for code insight features is 1000 K. If that limit is exceeded, all the code insight features, such as automatic code folding and tag completion are disabled. The maximum content size for code completion is 20000 K. If that limit is exceeded, features, such as code-completion, punctuation completion, indent guides and brace highlighting are disabled. In both cases, Aqua Data Studio displays the currently configured size and the actual content size.
To set a new content size
You might notice a slight performance delay in editors if you increase the content limit of code completion setting from 20000 K.
