    When using QMenu::addAction to add a QAction, the provided text is used in its entirety which can result in the QMenu appearing excessively wide. Aside from ensuring the text is of a reasonable length before it is passed to QMenu::addAction, is there a way to edit how the menu is drawn to shorten the text?
