That's odd. We're using the most recently available version on Fordson (3.3) on Moodle 3.5 and with that setting on, we're absolutely seeing all the links as shown below with my courses > JavaScript in the nav drawer and the full path in the breadcrumbs:
I wonder if there's more to it than just one setting?
You could alo try tweaking Fordson to do what Diane suggested above: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=356398#p1498233
Confirmed, but only working well in Fordson now. Plain Boost shows "My courses" in the breadcrumbs regardless of how you've got navshowmycoursecategories set.
Older versions of Moodle were smart enough to skip categories that were hidden (while the courses themselves sitting in them are not). I wonder if this could be achieved / restored if only in Fordson. Right now clicking on a hidden category name in the nav path breadcrumbs bring up the attached error.
