The dropdown is actually shortening the names once it reaches the maximum available space. In this specific case, the maximum available space is the width of the screen. This is the standard behaviour for the AdvancedDropdown IMGUI control. If you believe that the standard behaviour of this control should be modified to behave differently, I invite you to refile this bug and reformulate your request.

How to reproduce:
1. Create a new Unity project
2. In the Project window, right-click -> Create -> Animation -> Animator Controller
3. Open the created Asset and switch to the "Parameters" tab
4. Create any Parameter and enter its renaming
5. Enter a long string
6. Create any two states and make a Transition between them
7. Select the Transition -> Inspector -> Conditions -> "+" button -> Dropdown and Observe the results

Expected results: The name is shortened
Actual results: The name is not shortened

Reproducible with: 6000.0.65f1, 6000.3.3f1, 6000.4.0b3, 6000.5.0a3

Reproducible on: Ubuntu 24, macOS Tahoe 26
Not reproducible on: No other environment tested
