The Adwords User interface allows description1 and description2 to be 80 characters long.

The Adwords API errors out if either value is longer than 35 characters(AdError.LINE_TOO_WIDE), probably an artifact from basic text ads.

This renders the API basically unusable for Call Only ads as 35 characters per line is not comparable.

Hello Rob, 

That's right. Our team is aware of this limitation and are investigating to make API and UI consistent. Please keep an eye out on our blog for more updates. 

Thanks,
Bharani, AdWords API Team
