#SLDS Styles3 debatiendo

Hi Heath, 

This is a real SLDS 2 rendering behavior, not a config mistake on your end — global actions with longer labels get visually compressed differently under SLDS 2 vs SLDS 1 styling, and there's no admin-facing setting yet to control icon/label sizing in that specific menu. 

Practical options right now: 

1. Revert to SLDS 1 for this sandbox while testing. Setup → Themes and Branding → select an SLDS 1 theme → Activate. This is a fully supported toggle (not a hack), so you can confirm your global actions render as expected under SLDS 1 while you evaluate SLDS 2 elsewhere, without being blocked by this specific issue. 

2. Report it through the official channel rather than working around it silently. Since SLDS 2 is still actively being refined post-GA, this is exactly the kind of feedback Salesforce wants — submit it via the Design System Roadmap feedback link (Trailhead's SLDS 2 support module points to it) so it's tracked against the actual component team, not just a community workaround. 

3. As a partial mitigation if you do stay on SLDS 2: since the truncation is driven by label length, consider whether the action's Label (display name) can be shortened while keeping a more descriptive Description/tooltip — I know you said shortening isn't always possible, but for actions where a shorter label + longer help text would work, that's the only user-facing lever available today without a platform fix. 

There's currently no styling hook exposed to override how global action menu items handle long labels + icons together under SLDS 2 — this is genuinely on Salesforce's side to fix in a future refinement, not something fixable via custom CSS/styling hooks from your org.
