What needs to change?
Error messages need to indicate source of actual error and not mislead. Currently the error warns that the abstract is too long as it exceeds 175 characters. The abstract limit hasn't actually been exceeded, it's the title and the limit of that is 250 words.
This was tested with a 300 characters (43 words) input and the issue replicated:
