activerecord problem when create with characters with accents or special characters

#5370

Rails version: 2.3.5
Ruby version: 1.8.7

I use the activerecord in order to create a record with special characters contained in a string, then when I look in the database it shows the string broken, ej. before: "texto con carácteres especiales como ñ y otros" after insert or create: "texto con car", the rest of string is missed.

When I check the log I see:

INSERT INTO posts (created_at, title, excerpt, updated_at, blog_id, publish, content, classification_id, author_id, comments_count) VALUES('2010-08-12 22:20:28', 'titulo con caracteres especiales áéíóúÁÉÍÓÚÑñ más caracteres "-,'¿?!ª\|}´{¨¨&%$#@; final del titulo', 'intro de la publicación', '2010-08-12 22:20:28', 1, 0, 'prueba [#5](/projects/8994/tickets/5 "Ticket #5"): contenido de la publicación', NULL, 1, 0)

Apparently all is fine, but in the database appears this:

title excerpt content

titulo con caracteres especiales intro de la publicaci prueba #5 Introduce ActiveResource::Base.timeout to allow Net::HTTP#read_timeout to be set: contenido de la publicaci

I using the following configuration:
Adapter: mysql
Connection Encoding: utf8
Table Character-set is: utf8
Table Collation is: utf8_general_ci
