@kkrypt0nn Thanks for pushing back on this. Although I was unable to duplicate the error under normal user behaviour, as the maxlength is hardcoded to 30 characters in the profile edit partial, you are correct that there is a discrepancy, as the user model has the limit at 100. Your fix to update the UI to 100 is correct, as 30 characters is too short for some names.

However, in testing this change, I found that it introduces a design issue. I tested with various lengths, and although it's not a common case, it is possible for a long name without spaces to break the layout in the user dropdown menu. Most other areas I checked seem to handle this with truncation or line breaks already, but this one needs a fix.

A possible fix could be to target the <span> inside #user-profile-link-placeholder with a specific CSS rule like this:

#user-profile-link-placeholder .fw-medium {
  white-space: nowrap;
  overflow: hidden;
  text-overflow: ellipsis;
}

@benhalpern, what do you think?
