The limit is 64 characters.

You may need to change the go delve config to enable this.

go.delveConfig {
    useApiV1: false,
    dlvLoadConfig: {
        // .....
       maxStringLen: 100
     }
}

Thanks @gangachris

From the 0.6.90 release of this extension on 3rd of this month, we are using version 2 of delve apis by default. So all you need to add in your settings is

go.delveConfig {
    dlvLoadConfig: {
       maxStringLen: 100
    }
}

The issue with the context menu entries being disabled is covered in #1990
