UNavigationMenu super slim
On desktop the navigation menu in my header is only 10% width of the screen and all items are truncated and squished together. Why might that be? Contents doesn't seem to matter and I have no stylings or props applied.

UNavigationMenu is appearing very slim (only 10% width) and items are truncated or squished, this is likely due to the default or inherited CSS classes applied to the component. According to the Nuxt UI documentation, the UNavigationMenu uses a flex layout with minimal width constraints by default:
These classes (min-w-0) are intended to prevent overflow, but if the parent container or the menu itself does not have an explicit width set, the menu may shrink to fit its content or the smallest possible width, especially in a flex or grid layout.
How to fix:
- Make sure the parent container of UNavigationMenu has a width set (e.g., w-full for 100% width).
- You can also add the w-full class directly to the UNavigationMenu to ensure it stretches across the available space:
This is shown in the official examples, where w-full is used to make the navigation menu span the full width of its container, preventing the squished appearance and truncation of items NavigationMenu Orientation.
If you are using a grid or flex layout in your header or parent container, ensure that the column or flex item containing the navigation menu is not restricted in width.
Summary:The slim appearance is likely due to missing or insufficient width styling. Add
w-full to the UNavigationMenu or its parent to resolve the issue.
If you still experience issues after this, please check for any parent container styles or layout constraints that might be limiting the width of the navigation menu NavigationMenu Theme.

w-full works. The docs don't have w-full on there so I didn't think it was necessary
