Default Form Caption Length

well, then it isn't in the Title Bar, then is it?

Also, since the Form Caption supposedly can be up to 2048 characters, I have
yet to hear a reasonable explanation why an 8 inch wide form is dropping
everything after the 110th character .. which is the orignal question.

I can come up with workarounds galore that do not involve the Title Bar or
the Form Caption property ... but that is not satisfying the question nor the
intellectual curiosity to understand this behavior.

Captions tend to be static parts of the form object itself; if this is dynamic
and changeable, perhaps it would be easier to use an unbound Textbox or Label
control instead, and dynamically set its value or caption as you prefer.
Either a textbox or label can be set centered of course.
