Research direction
Start at the st.multiselect entry point and trace where option strings are shortened. Define how a configurable maximum length should behave, then add coverage showing that long string options respect the chosen limit.

Summary
I often end up with st.multiselect with string values shortened hence becoming "useless". Could we add a parameter that controls at which index we are shortening the strings? Or can we make this a bit smarter on the streamlit side?
