Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue when opening a conversation on a Huawei PRA-LX1 running Android 8.0 and Signal 7.68.5, using the attached screenshot as the expected reference. The report does not name files, tests, or a specific incorrect element; done means the transient incorrect display no longer appears.
