Description

Steps to reproduce

Android users have been complaining of incorrect avatars causing confusion. Sometimes avatar is not showing up in the right place, causing comments to appear to be written by someone else.

Not sure how to reproduce, problem is intermittent. Restarting app will fix it.

Expected behaviour

Avatar should consistently display along with users first comment in a series, otherwise it appears to be attributed to the previous comment author.

Actual behaviour

Including screenshots to demonstrate. One shows the issue occurring, the other is after restarting the app and it displays correctly.

Research direction

No files, tests, or code entry points are identified. Start by reproducing the intermittent avatar placement issue on Android with Talk 22.0.7 and server 32.0.3, using the provided screenshots as the expected comparison; gather device details and logs if possible. Done means avatars consistently appear with the first comment in each user's series without requiring an app restart.
