We have got a three core switches:
ML1 – HP 5406zl (J8697A) firmware:K.15.14.0007
ML2 – HP 5406zl (J8697A) firmware:K.15.14.0007
ML3 – HP 5412zl (J8698A) firmware:K.15.16.0008
Recently I created 2 new VLANS (Vlan ID 200 – CISCO-WIFI-MGMT,201 – Cisco-WIFI-REDUNDANT) on all three core switches.
After that Im unable to see any vlan with ID above 200 in VLAN menu -> Vlan port assignment menu on every core switch.
Here is the VLAN config of core switch ML1 which is a primary gateway for all vlans (VRRP master)

Here is the screenshot of the vlan port assignment menu:
So as you can see that I can not see complete name of VLAN ID 200 (CISCO-WIFI-MGMT) and all the VLANS with higher ID than 200 which is for example VLAN 201 and 998 (CISCO-WIFI-REDUNDANT and TK_Internet)
I do not know if I did some mistakes in my config or it is a firmware bug or some kind of HP limitation.
At the moment I can not really perform a firmware upgrade of core switches or reboot them, can somebody suggest me what should I try to fix this issue ?
I also tried to rename both new vlans and it was not helpful.

This isn't a bug. Firstly, yes, the VLAN names are too long to be shown in the Menu interface. Secondly, there's a limit on how many VLANs you can see in the menu in the first place - 32. Your VLAN 200 is the 32nd, so no new VLANs can be shown.
The Menu interface of ProCurve / ProVision switches is limited. Same applies to the Web GUI. Stuggi's right, you should get comfy with the CLI. That's the only interface with full management capabilities.
