found a bug :slightly_smiling_face: <https://x.com/joreilly/status/1781285926083178803>

What is the bug here, the navigation bar?

&gt; Yeah, bookmarks text wrapping
tl;dr: When using the m3 component as-is I don’t think there is a way to actually handle this very well.

So that’s just what the m3 nav component does with long texts. And in the m3 documentation their suggestion is literally just “pick smaller texts” and provide no customizability on the m3 component :sweat_smile:
The doc link <https://m3.material.io/components/navigation-bar/guidelines#720ad34e-fc0f-4413-8613-10dd2d530e58>

I’ve also made a bug report about the spacing between the items being a bit more than what the specs are suggesting <https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/330198163>

Some prior discussion on this in ASG <https://androidstudygroup.slack.com/archives/CE6KRLHEK/p1707469045575389> where the outcome has unfortunately been to simply cap the font size inside there for languages with longer text.
I have done the same in our app <https://github.com/HedvigInsurance/android/blob/b5bf4698ac78da1f9753cb9e834467901210caaf/app/core/core-design-system/src/main/kotlin/com/hedvig/android/core/designsystem/component/navigation/HedvigNavigationBarItem.kt#L135-L139|here too> after I had to copy the entire internal function from m3 of course, after also letting the texts go a bit “out of bounds” compared to the m3 spec.
