1953400 - [macOS] Profile names are truncated in the middle instead of at the end in the Menu Bar

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Toolkit :: Startup and Profile System, defect)

Description

[Simona Badau, Desktop QA, PTO 22-30June]

Attachment: Screenshot with the profile Name on macOS

Found in

• Nightly 138.0a1

Affected versions

• Nightly 138.0a1

Tested platforms

• Affected platforms: macOS 15
• Unaffected platforms: Windows 11

Preconditions

• Have at least one profile created with Profile Switching.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new profile with a long name, like: LongggName1LongggName2LongggName3LongggName4LongggName5LongggName6LongggName7LongggName8LongggName9LongggName10LongggName11LongggNa
2. Check the Profiles section in the Menu Bar.

Expected result

• The profile name should be truncated consistently, as it is in the Hamburger menu—meaning it should be cropped at the end.

Actual result

• On macOS, the profile name is truncated in the middle.

Regression range

• This is not a regression; it's introduced with the Profile Switching feature.

Additional notes

• On Windows 11, the truncation occurs at the end of the text string, as in the Profiles section from the Hamburger Menu.

PM: makes sense to infix the ellipsis in the middle, rather than truncate at the end.
