I have noticed that this also interferes with the width of a page (if you have enough branching logic to reach the end of the page).
I have been trying to manually lower some of the cell padding for the navigation cells, but cannot locate which ones need to be decreased to actually decrease the cell paddings.
Could an admin direct me in the correct direction possibly?
Can you provide a bit more detail?
Which navigation admin “panel” are you talking about specifically? Also, things like browser, WP version, etc.?

wp = 3.71
theme = frontier (most recent version)
the navigation panel = WPLOOK Main Menu
This is a government run training site located on the local intranet that is not viewable outside the network.
I can be very specific:
the style.css for frontier controls the WPLOOK Main Menu’s navigation panel. I have been messing around with the paddings and they decrease the size of the “navigation cells”;
On lines 213, 251, and 272 inside the style.css, the paddings can be reduced in order to reduce the size of the navigation cells. This increases the amount of cells available to fit on a page.
If I had the menu item “Course 1” and had Lessons 1-15 branching underneath it. Lessons 13, 14, 15 may not be displayed on the navigation panel because the page’s length can not support that many cells cascading down vertically. (also, the width of a page could do the same if you had branching logic that reached that far horizontally)
Now I could reduce the padding, and all navigation cells for the lessons would display on the page (but there still would be a finite number of navigation cells I could use before they would be cutoff).
I am trying to find any information on this. I am not sure if something can be written into the plugin that helps prevent this from happening or if editing the padding/font size/etc. are my only options to fix the “cut-offs” from occurring.
I’m not certain what the WPLOOK Main Menu is, or how it relates to the functionality this plugin provides. I will say that navigation menu styles on front-end pages (meaning non-WordPress admin) are completely theme dependent. We don’t provide any styles in the plugin.
In order for a theme to support display / management of the primary navigation menu by this plugin it must be configured to support it:
https://github.com/bu-ist/bu-navigation/wiki/Adding-Theme-Support-for-Primary-Navigation-Menus
When that is done you will see a “Primary Navigation” menu item under “Appearance” where you can configure cut-offs as you describe — e.g. “Don’t show more than 6 items in the primary navigation menu” — in addition to a few other options.
Hope this helps!

Disregard I figured out my solution.
