SharePoint 2013 Designer Workflow Error : the attempted operation is prohibited because it exceeds the list view threshold

Hello
After some trial and error and tracing I found that the cause of a SharePoint Designer Workflow error: 
"...the attempted operation is prohibited because it exceeds the list view threshold..."

Summary:
This error appears when trying to edit any action that has  a string builder, resulting in a delay, an error prompt and the inability to edit an exiting string.

Cause
The cause is a call to an existing SharePoint 2010 Workflow which results with the below error showing in the Designer. 

Workaround:
A simple re-name of the  SharePoint 2010 Workflow resolves the error, the underlying causing in SP is unknown at this time, however this work-around will allow you to edit your workflow without error. 

See below document for full details.
