The names again

Hi

In my Calibre I like the following way of naming my books (the reason is that I like to have them displayed according to the series in my Kindle:

Title:
[Known Space Series 4] Betrayer of Worlds

Author(s):
Niven, Larry

Also in my Calibre database this book name looked like this:
“D:\Calibre My\Niven, Larry\[Known Space Series 4] Betrayer of Worlds (114)\[Known Space Series 4] Betrayer of Worlds - Niven, Larry.epub"

If the name is longer, then some letters of the name are lost - that’s probably the Calibre database limitation, but this was still quite acceptable…

However recently I have found that even more letters are lost than before, now even with shorter names. I deliberately edited the metadata in Calibre for the above book name to see the resulting change in the database book name, now it is like this:

"D:\Calibre My\Niven, Larry\[Known Space Series 4] Betrayer of (114)\[Known Space Series 4] Betrayer - Niven, Larry.epub"
Instead
“D:\Calibre My\Niven, Larry\[Known Space Series 4] Betrayer of Worlds (114)\[Known Space Series 4] Betrayer of Worlds - Niven, Larry.epub"

The name of the book in Calibre itself is still the same, of course, but in the database it is damaged - it became shorter.

Why is it so? Have I done something wrong or was this changed in some late Calibre version?
