Windows 7 Safari, Windows 7 Abbreviations

[izaktaylor]

I included a picture below to show what I mean. I tried adding "iCloud" to the bookmark bar and it replaced two letters with three dots. Since "iCloud" is such a short word, this seems unnecessary.

The reason I'm posting here is that this seems to be something specific to Windows 7, not just safari. Safari on a Mac doesn't do this. It doesn't happen on previous versions of Windows either. I already posted on Apple's Support forums but no one seems to have an answer as to why this happens with Windows 7 or how to disable it.

Any assistant would be appreciated. Thanks
