Feature
I think the name and description of the chat you're currently using should be moved to the left (at least in languages that read left to right, could go the other way for those that do that) when it goes off the screen to avoid .... Same applies for group descriptions. In most cases, I think this means in most cases the 3 dots could be removed as there'd be room for mute and search. Voice and video call can be merged now since you can turn video on/off in any call. Alternatively, leaving the 3 dots to avoid pressing mute by accident could be handy. Could also have a warning when you're about to mute this. Or this all could be configurable but I digress. I think the first change I mentioned would be a small but important improvement.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or implementation entry points. Start by locating the chat header UI on Linux, macOS, Windows, and Android, then confirm how long names and descriptions behave when they leave the screen. Done should mean the current chat name and description remain usable without unintended overlap, with behavior appropriate for left-to-right and other languages.
