FOUND YOUR PROBLEM!
Wrong item - change in table: articles_description ==>articles_name to 255!

Some time can't see the trees when look'in at the forest. Sorry I did not pickup on the wrong table in your first post. Glad we solved the riddle....

after solving this issue, i noticed that certain articles need to have long description.
currently, table articles_description has type=text, which i thought is kind of unlimited, but it seems to crop my article. is there a quickfix for the description length?
thank you again jpf.

No there an't a quick fix for the title to make it more than 255 char. I know your trying to do something different but your title should be SHORT and descriptive

I am refering to the article length itself, not to the title (i solved the title issue thanks to your help).
I am trying to create a long article with not much success. I have also tried it using your demo (thanks again) but article length is limited.
thanks.

I have reported this as a BUG and fixed it as well. See the bug tracker for the updated files: 219: Problems with Article not showing up when clicking on them - Bug Tracker - open source Commerce Maximized :: osCMax

No, only table limit needs to be changed.
