shortname length shown in the navigation bar is too short

When a short-name is set with long strings, we can't see the whole string and it cuts it with "..." as in the image. I think it's 50 chars maxlenght shortname.

How can I fix it so the length will be more than 50? 

any ideas? even code edjustments?

Umm, surely its a 'short name' and therefore anything greater than fifty characters is counter intuitive.

I suspect its a limit of the CSS as the database (when using MySQL) defines the attribute as a VARCHAR(255).  So therefore I suggest that you use browser development tools to discover the CSS to change.
