In some menus such as the Profile Context menu and the Friend/Block Request menu, when a user has a abnormally long custom status, this will extend these menus out quite significantly.

While an easy solution, and one I can definately feel appropriate for the Request menu, it seems that the context menu is the only location where this status is otherwise displayed, so unless we have a method of not displaying it truncated, it feels like it would be removing it's current full support. Would it be possible to have it truncated by default, and then expand to full text on click?

Good idea
