Today I sent a message to the wrong course through the Canvas Inbox feature.

Near the top left of the Inbox interface, the user can select a course to message. The user can also click on the 'compose new message' button. An identical drop down menu presents itself in both instances. Clicking the 'Favorite Courses' option presents a submenu.

The width of the favorite course sub menu is not adjustable. As a result, all course titles are abbreviated.  

After a few quarters, this list is cluttered. The user must pause the cursor over each item and wait for a tooltip to appear. When it does, even that tool tip does not provide the user with the full title. Key information- what quarter is it? What year? The full unabbreviated class title is never made available in either context.

I suggest allowing the user to control the width of the dropdown menu so that they can access this crucial information.
