Edge favorites bar links name get's cut off

This behavior is a UI change introduced in recent Microsoft Edge versions and isn’t controlled by cache, reinstall, or a visible setting. The current documentation and release notes for Edge 142 and later don’t expose any option or flag to revert the favorites bar menu width or text truncation back to the previous style.

The only available controls for the favorites bar itself are whether it’s shown (Always, Only on new tabs, Never) and how favorites are organized or opened; these don’t affect the new truncation behavior.

To influence this behavior, the practical options are:

1. Adjust how the favorites bar is used (for example, shorter names or more folders) so that truncation is less of an issue.
2. Use the tooltip that appears when hovering a favorite to see the full name.
3. Provide feedback directly from Edge (Settings and more → Help and feedback → Send feedback) so the product team can consider adding a setting to control the menu width or truncation in future builds.

There is currently no supported way in Edge 142+ to restore the old, wider favorites-bar menu layout.
