Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. The new implementation has certainly  
been improved to represent parameters as a structured string. But  
during upgrade, my dimensions themselves were not upgraded, so that  
my textareas had no dimensions, nor were the dimensions editable. I  
rescued my existing forms by entering the required structured string  
directly, to the mysql shell.
