The query below is truncated,with 'created' showing only 'cre'(scroll to the right most first:):

 mysql> SELECT  GROUP_CONCAT(CONCAT('<comment><body><![CDATA[',body,']]></body>','<replier>',if(uid is not null,uid,''),'</replier>','<created>',created,'</created></comment>') SEPARATOR '')
        ->                                          FROM   idiscussion
        ->
        ->                                          WHERE  idiscussion.iask_id = 1;

It's a configuration setting:

group_concat_max_len=4096 in my.cnf

or

SET GLOBAL group_concat_max_len=4096

From documentation:

The result is truncated to the maximum length that is given by the group_concat_max_len system variable, which has a default value of 1024. The value can be set higher, although the effective maximum length of the return value is constrained by the value of max_allowed_packet. The syntax to change the value of group_concat_max_len at runtime is as follows, where val is an unsigned integer:

 SET [GLOBAL | SESSION] group_concat_max_len = val;

From the docs:

The result is truncated to the maximum length that is given by the group_concat_max_len system variable, which has a default value of 1024.

Your truncated string is, naturally, 1024 characters long.
