Research direction

Reproduce the issue by enabling the “more compact ‘Modern’ layout” on Windows 10 and compare read-receipt placement on single-line messages. Trace the message and read-receipt rendering entry points, then verify that receipts are vertically aligned with their messages in compact mode without regressing the normal layout.
