Description
The mobile style left to right message bubbles are not appropriate for the desktop due to the size of the screens.
It makes it much harder to follow a conversation because of the amount of space (left to right) between the messages. Please keep the messages left aligned in the desktop implementation.
For a comparison see the web vs the desktop implementation. The web one is much easier to follow.

Compare the desktop conversation layout with the linked web and desktop screenshots, then trace the desktop message-view entry point responsible for horizontal bubble placement. Confirm the intended scope with the existing issue discussion before making changes; done means the desktop conversation follows the requested left-aligned presentation.
