this is a minor request:

Would it be too much to ask to allow us to have longer titles and author fields for levels? I'm okay with there being a "reasonable" limit. Reasonable in this case would mean it fits on the preview screen without moving/changing other text. Since the preview screen presently has more room (and since nobody liked my suggestion of adding pre-level text to this screen and if the other suggestions of bringing back the (IMO useless) extra space between lines doesn't happen, or even if it does); The title appearing/extending to two lines is okay in my book.
I don't often make really long titles but several times I couldn't title my level accordingly because it would go over a few characters. Sometimes if it's one or two you can fudge it by removing a space or something but this is sloppy.
IMO; the author field is more important; sometimes; notably when there's more than one author to a level you can easily run out of room.

Old formats - not going to happen.
New formats - already fixed, long before I handed it over to Nepster.
