Description

In the top-left corner, where the experiment name is displayed, if the length of the name exceeds a small threshold, it gets clipped. Aesthetics aside, this may make the experiment less cohesive, since the title is a good reference point/reminder for new participants during the course of the experiment.

Bug replicated in both Chrome and Firefox.

Research direction

Start at the participant view menu entry point where the experiment name is rendered in the top-left corner. Reproduce the clipping with a long name in Chrome or Firefox, then inspect the surrounding layout and styling. Done means long experiment names remain usable and visible without breaking the menu or participant view.
