UPDATE: Support for Structured/Managed Navigation enabled on Modern Pages in Classic Team Sites
Will you be adding support for second level menu navigation? Currently it appears that you only have top levels displayed. Also, if the label is too long to display in the current width, can you add a rollover popup to show the full name?
Hi Scott Joyner - the goal is to ensure functionality w/ classic publishing provider (and that behavior) - so for structured left and top that would be two-levels (parent-child), but for managed top it looks like it's not rendering the third level (grandchild). We're investigating the issue, so thanks to you and Adrienne for reporting.
As for long labels, yes, we should be truncating and providing full preview in the tooltip. We'll take another look at this one (thought it was previously fixed!).

Please don't tructuate menu items!
I know Microsoft are a huge fan of the ... but in a menu this really should not happen.
I currently see both options, so no trunctuation does seem possible!
Would it be possible to have the submenus fly out a little snappier?
I always see users click the headers since the menus just take that bit too long to appear.

ssquires3rd level links now seem to work. Great news, thanks!
PageLibraryJust flagging this again, the menu does however look different within the same site collection. On a page all menu items are fully visible, as soon as I am in a list/library the menu items are cut off.

PhilineVon, I agree completely -- menu item truncation and and the considerably slower interaction time with the dropdowns and flyouts make the current Managed navigation experience in Modern mode considerably less useful and pleasant than in Classic mode. If we can regain the ability to utilize CSS to customize the appearance of the dropdowns/flyouts, we would, of course, have control over this. Short of that, at least eliminating truncation would be preferable.
One of the main reasons to go to Managed navigation in large sites is the lightning fast display and interaction with the menus in the Global navigation. Since links to third levels don't yet work, I'm sure this is a work in progress.
