Research direction

Start by reproducing the listed login and contacts-menu steps in Nextcloud Server 28 with a long status message, using the attached screenshot as the visual reference. The work is done when long statuses in the contacts menu are ellipsized into a usable presentation; the issue does not name a file or test to run.
