  154 change in course drop down menu

  hi, I've noticed a change in how the course drop down menu behaves from 1.5.3 to 1.5.4 - in 1.5.3 the name of courses were "cropped" after a certain number of letters, while the course name is spelled out in full in 1.5.4
  
  ..or maybe the change is that the menu was a fixed width and is now a relative one? in any case it can cause a very wide menu, and I would like to change it back.. any idea how I would do this?
  
  I've added a screenshot showing the difference..

  That is no bug. It was done to fix some utf8 issues.

  no, but it's a change that creates some potential issues. I fixed it by adding the following to the CSS:
  
  select#jumpmenu {
  width: 250px;
  }

  You could edit the theme to add the substring() back in, but do not use it if your content is Unicode.

  I prefer the CSS solution, as it has no issues as far as I can see. Changed it now to:
  
  select#jumpmenu {
  width: 20em;
  }
  
  ..as specifying it in em is more accessible than px. works fine in IE7, FF2 and Opera 9. have not tested in IE6
