Bug description
When long-pressing on an individual message, the emoji menu and the message context menu (with options "reply", "forward", "copy" etc) both appear as expected. The emoji menu works correctly (emojis can be selected) but the message context menu does not work. No option can be selected. This is clearly unintended behavior.
I tried resetting Android zoom / text zoom, but doesn't change the issue.

Research direction
Reproduce on Android 15 with Signal 8.0.4 by long-pressing an individual message and comparing the emoji menu with the message context menu. Start by reviewing the linked debug log and the message-menu behavior; done means options such as reply, forward, and copy can be selected normally.
