Description

Its insane this is a thing. There is a dropdown menu under the replies for TWO options while there is sufficient space for TWENTY EIGHT options at optimal window width. 28! And the feature needs to be activated after every reply. Just... WHY???

Could someone, please, for the love of the universe, make the UI intuitive and effective already?

Research direction

Start by locating the Windows Desktop UI and the read-aloud control, then inspect how the control is presented after replies. Move the button out of the replies dropdown into the available primary UI space, and verify that it remains accessible without reactivation after each reply.
