Description

For some reason everyone's name wraps within the first few characters, which of course overlaps with message text. The message timestamp is also suspiciously far to the left. This screenshot should clarify.

Other than the use of dark theme, I have changed no other settings; this has been happening since I first installed.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the chat view with the dark theme, using the linked screenshot as the reference for the name wrapping and timestamp position. Trace the chat layout responsible for message metadata, then verify that names no longer overlap message text and that timestamps align correctly.
