apply quick settings drop-down on gallery settings page is too narrow

I've used quick settings names that all start with the same description and end with the year. That was fine in the old smug but in the new world the quick settings list and the quick settings entry on the gallery settings screen cuts off the name at a small number of characters. There doesn't appear to be a way to show the full name. Without the full name my existing quick settings entries are pretty useless.

    Truncated labels???
    With all the new goodness and massive expanse of space on the new organization page why in gods name are the watermake and the quick settings names being truncated? I have several that use a very similar set of titles (both watermkarks and quick settings) and cannot tell one from the next with them being truncated.
    I'm sure this is intentional, why I'm not sure... just make the box wider..., but it's a bug to me. Please fix this ASAP.

    Yup, the dropdown showing quick setting names is completely unusable on my site too.
    This was reported as a defect on August 4th, here.

    There are many pages in organize that show tiny images, no info, no caption, no file names, small settings boxes, etc.
    Very NOT user friendly.
    This needs to be fixed.

    If I rename my watermarks will the currently marked images be b0rked?

    I was also thinking about trying to code the box to be bigger... we did it in the description entry box for old SM... not sure it will help though...

    Once watermarks are applied to a photo and display copies are regenerated there's no connection to a WM name.

    It's the same for ALL drop-downs (like the watermarks). You can't read the full names -- which is a real bummer and clearly a programming error (programmers often seem not to have ergonomic or intuitive assets)!

    OK I renamed the watermarks... surprisingly the new names populated the gallery settings replacing the old names.
    After a 2nd look a wider box will make no difference as SM decided to truncate the quick setting names... it's not that the box is to narrow to fit.
    I can rename, but I'd like to remove the 15 or so useless ones...
    I could do that in OLD SM.

    And this is all we get in response. Are they even considering fixing the problem? Is anyone at Smugmug even remotely aware that the issue exists. We really don't know, do we? We could assume that someone reads this or the feedback forum, but that would be dumb because other than Michael, they rarely if ever, give us any feedback.

    We just come here for moral support I guess...
