Description

Expected behavior

The information about the contact should be fully visible when clicking on it

Actual behavior

Only a small part of the information is visible, the popup is too small (scrollable, but it would be nicer to see everything at the same time)

Steps to reproduce
  1. Create a new email
  2. Add 20 recipients (enough to fill the screen)
  3. Click on one of the recipients

A similar issue is happening when adding a contact from the device contacts.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the compose-mail recipient flow with enough recipients to fill the screen, then check the similar device-contacts flow shown in the report. Trace the popup sizing behavior from those entry points and verify that the full contact information is visible without requiring scrolling in both cases.
