Custom fields: limited number of keys in drop-down menu?

    When I created a new custom field key (the eleventh, I guess), the very first I had created disappeared from the drop-down menu. I thought maybe it was some sort of weird glitch, but when I added another key, the drop-down menu was shortened to ten items again (the second key I had added was dropped).

    Is there a way to display all keys in the menu? It’s just more convenient than typing them out everytime. Thanks.

    Trying to bump this up on the list of threads (only this one time, promise). If someone could just tell me if the limited number of keymenu items is a feature, not a bug, I could maybe issue a request to change that. Otherwise, any ideas to the solution of this problem would be greatly appreciated. I had a look at the post.php file, but couldn’t find anything. Thanks for any help.

    Found it. Should have looked there earlier.

    In wp-admin/admin-functions.php, I changed the LIMIT value in this bit:

    function meta_form() {
    global $wpdb, $tablepostmeta;
    $keys = $wpdb->get_col("
    SELECT meta_key
    FROM $tablepostmeta
    GROUP BY meta_key
    ORDER BY meta_id DESC
    LIMIT 10");
