Is there a way to wrap text in a Module tile? Right now, text in long Module titles gets cut off after one line.
Hi @training14,
The only way to adjust this on Canvas for the web would be through custom CSS through your school/institution theme (it appears the "ellipsis" class "white-space" property could be set to "pre-line". This is something that would affect all courses, and many administrators want to keep these kind of customizations to a minimum or zero, so you'd need to talk to your local Canvas team to see how they feel about this. Please also note that this wouldn't affect the Canvas apps (I know there are ways to apply similar customizations on the app, but I'm not familiar with how to do that myself).
Hope this helps a bit!

Rather than try to find a work-around, I would urge you to shorten your module titles. It should have no more than five words. Consider how your module titles look on mobile devices. Long titles are problematic.
Rather create a long module title, just make an introductory page with the important information.
I get your point about title length and adding additional information elsewhere. I use one module per week of a twice-per-week course. I was using the Module title to list the topics of each lecture, which could run a bit long.
Working from your suggestion, I shortened the Module title to just the dates. Rather than making an introductory page, I added a Text Header to each Module with the topics of each class for that week. The Text Headers wrap if the text exceeds one line, and the hierarchy from Module Title to Text Header to Assignments and Quizzes looks pretty clear on both desktop and mobile devices.
This is also a problem in setting up a quiz with long sentences as I have experienced it. Text does not wrap.

We have enabled the automatic migration of Classic to New Quizzes. When we import QTI files, though, they always fail to load as New Quizzes. If we disabled New Quiz Migration, it works. Why does it only work for Classic Quizzes? Are there any guaranteed tools that will generate QTI files that will import correctly as New…
Is it possible to change the system-wide notification defaults for a hosted Canvas instance? Since I can't find a way to do it, nor any reference to doing it, I'm assuming not but wanted to make sure before I give that as an answer.
Hi everyone, I had a teacher reach out with an odd (and concerning) LockDown Browser issue and wanted to see if others have experienced something similar. A student was taking a quiz using Respondus LockDown Browser on a Chromebook 300e Yoga G4 (8GB), a 2‑in‑1 device that can flip into tablet mode. During the active quiz,…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
