On desktop, I’m finding menu items are getting truncated due to the narrow width of the menu:

Item text is truncated with elipses (as they exceed the CSS-defined `max-width`):

I considered widening the menu using CSS, but I notice the menu’s style is governed by the DOM:

Any chance the defaults could be raised? The width seems a bit restrictive at the moment, given the available width of the browser window.
