 * I’m using Ninja Forms 3.2.2, PHP 5.6.31 and WP 4.8.2. I need `Single Line Text`
   input fiels with character limits and custom masks. I was excited to see that
   Ninja Forms supports these input restrictions, but disappointed to find that 
   the remaining character counts don’t work. Any key entry (even one that is ignored
   by the custom mask) causes the remaining character count to immediately go to
   0 (zero). Deleting characters from the input does not increment the remaining
   character count. In short, remaining character counts don’t work.
 * Since I need the input restrictions but don’t want to display this bug, I have
   added the following style CSS:
 *     ```
       /* Hide remaining character count until bug is fixed */
       .nf-after-field {
         display: none !important;
       }
       ```

 * Since this is a currently known bug, I’m resolving this conversation in favor
   of the GitHub issue. Thank you for the report!
