Description

when editing the title inline (by clicking on the title) and inserting text longer than 255 characters, it can't be stored.
The request returns a 400 as expected. BUT there's no user feedback at all. The title stays at the inserted text longer than 255 and is only refreshed on a state update.

Steps to reproduce

  1. create card
  2. edit title
  3. insert more than 255 chars
  4. move card to other column

expected behavior

some error message/red outline around the input field

actual behavior

everything looks normal, title resets without feedback

proposed solution

remove inline editing as already discussed here, and approved by design.

Research direction

Start with the inline card-title editing flow described in the reproduction steps, then read the discussion and approved design direction in issue #5310. Confirm whether removing inline editing is still the intended resolution, and verify that titles longer than 255 characters no longer leave the interface showing an unsaved value without feedback.
