Research direction

Start by comparing the message editing context-menu buttons with the established normal message context menu shown in the issue and the changes from matrix-react-sdk PR 8763. Identify the existing color and icon sources for both menus, then confirm the editing buttons match the normal menu without disrupting the horizontal layout.
