Suggestion Mobile layout issues: overflowing chat titles in “Send in Messenger” and keyboard overlap

[club-home]

Hi Gwendal,

While testing Messenger on a phone, I noticed two mobile layout issues.

1. Recent conversation titles overflow the “Send in Messenger” dialog​

When I open “Send in Messenger” from a thread, long conversation titles in the “Or choose a recent conversation” section extend beyond the right edge of the dialog instead of wrapping or being truncated.

The conversation rows also appear to extend outside the dialog. In one screenshot, the dialog itself is partially off-screen horizontally, with its left side cut off.

Steps to reproduce:

1. On a phone in portrait orientation, open a thread.
2. Tap “Send in Messenger.”
3. Look at the recent conversations list containing chats with long titles.

Expected behaviour:

• The dialog should remain fully within the screen width.
• Conversation rows and their titles should stay inside the dialog.
• Long titles should either wrap or be truncated with an ellipsis, without causing horizontal overflow.

Attachments: the two screenshots of the sharing dialog.

2. The on-screen keyboard partially covers the message composer​

In an open conversation, tapping the message input brings up the keyboard, but a small part of the bottom of the composer remains covered by it.

The entire composer, including its bottom edge and controls, should remain visible above the keyboard.

Attachment: the screenshot of the conversation with the keyboard open.

Could you please check both issues? Thank you!

Thanks for the precise report, both issues are clear.

1. Send in Messenger
Long titles in the recent conversations list should never push the rows or the dialog off-screen. I'll keep the dialog inside the screen width and cut long titles with an ellipsis.

2. Keyboard over the composer
Your screenshot shows it well: on Android Chrome the page keeps its full height when the keyboard opens, so the bottom of the composer ends up under it. I'll make the conversation follow the visible area above the keyboard, so the whole composer and its controls stay in view.

Both fixes will be in the next Messenger update, and I'll post here when it is out. Only the screenshot with the keyboard came through; if you still have the two of the sharing dialog, feel free to attach them again, they will help me check the exact case.

So, I found a mobile layout issue with the “Send in Messenger” sharing dialog on your demo site.

This happens when opening the sharing dialog from either a regular forum thread or a classified listing. The problem appears at the recipient-selection stage, before actually sending the content.

1. Open a forum thread or a classified listing on a phone in portrait orientation.
2. Scroll to the sharing controls and tap “Send in Messenger.”
3. Check the position of the dialog and the recent conversations list.

Actual behaviour​

• The dialog is shifted horizontally, with part of its left side outside the visible screen.
• The beginnings of names, titles and other interface text are cut off on the left.
• Recent conversation rows and their borders extend beyond the right edge of the white dialog, into the dimmed background.
• Long conversation titles also extend beyond the dialog boundaries.

In one of the attached screenshots, some titles are already truncated with an ellipsis, but the dialog is still displaced and the rows still overflow. So this seems to involve the dialog/list layout, not only the handling of long text.

I have attached screenshots showing the issue with both Russian-translated and English interface text.

Could you please check the mobile layout of this sharing dialog for both forum threads and classified listings? Please, check it in Chrome especially.
