    Recently I have started to receive strange error. It goes when I use left tree in admin panel. In some cases it goes wrong and afterwards I receive that message.

            If you have access to configure your web server, you can increase the max size of the REQUEST headers allowed. For Apache 2 see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#limitrequestfieldsize
