Issue with Salesforce Report Connector Truncating Text

I’m using the Salesforce Report Connector to import a report from Salesforce. One of the columns contains very long text, but Power Query only retrieves the first 257 characters, followed by three dots (…). Is this a limitation of the Salesforce API? Are there any workarounds to get the full text?

Thank you!

That's rather unusual. Do you see the same issue when you download the report in SFDC as CSV ?
