To be honest, for me it is ok like it is now, I see "User Menu", and when I click on it I see my name. We will see what others say.

it's OK for me - both :-)

I use to play different roles when working on a site to be sure that all ACL is correct. Somteimes as super user, sometimes as a manger or in another role. And use to forget which role I am playing. :)

Of course, this makes sense :-)

There is an a11y issue with this chambe as the drop-down menu no longer has a sensible description

@brianteeman you are right. It is a pitty, it would be more friendly and individual, if the users sees his/her name.
I can make a Text like this "Pierre Dupont, your User Menu" but this will be truncated in the module.

@chmst Perhaps you can use 'sr-only' for the long text?

I really think your use case is an exception and not a norm

By the way: In database, the user name column can be up to 400 characters long. What if someone has a very long name? Shall that really all be displayed at that place?

I like this concept, despite i cannot suggest a more good way to do this, but i really would like to know in a easy way --- who am I

Who am I ... and how many? ;-)

@alikon not really that hard :)

philosophical question apart, ?
make sense to me... but
i know i'm not so good at UI/UX just my 2eurocent

@richard67 Long names would be truncated .

@brianteeman I can make an override of the module for myself, and I do not insist to bring this into the core.
But I see in different applications my avatar and/or user name, and I like it, it is more personal and friendly.

I'll commit a small change and with my long name it looks like this:

OK, I gave it a 3rd try - but have short User Name :-)
So, it looks OK, even it's truncated - in your case. What about user, inserting as User Name: Super User :-)

I find this wordy. I like the way before this PR.

Agree with @Quy
The User Name is immediately visible in the dropdown when clicking on the icon. No need to change imho.

Guys, 2 successful tests are enough for a Pull Request to get the "Ready to Commit" status. As soon as a PR has this, it does not need more tests, and you can focus on other PR's which still need tests.

There is 1 suggested change.

I think it is a11y now, without further changes? @brianteeman
@astridx - A sr-only text was a good idea, but now is not necessary, as the name and function both are visible on the dropdown.

But I do not insist on this PR, I can make overrides :)

I would even like to have an avatar here like github to make the backend individual, but it is not possible in this version.

1. There is a change requested by @Quy that is valid and must be addressed before this can be considered for merging

2. As someone with a long name themself I am not a fan of seeing my name truncated and nor do I see any benefit

3. As I was asked - I do not see any accessibility issue with this pr

As this is a matter of taste and everyone can make an override for its own, I close this for now.
