Bug description

The reaction picker is cropped on my phone. I have a small screen in comparaison to most modern phones (5,9 cm wide) and am running Signal 5.20.4 from the PlayStore on Android 5.0.1.

Steps to reproduce
  • Open Signal app
  • Enter a conversation
  • React to a message

Actual result: The reaction picker is cropped, the left side of rounded bubble around the reaction picker is cropped.
Expected result: The reaction picker should be moved a little bit to the right, or its size should be reduced to fit the screen size. The bubble should not be cropped!
