Description
Checklist

App version
6.801
Where did you get the app from?
F-Droid
Android version
9
Device model
OnePlus 5t
Steps to reproduce
- Go to any message with long wrapped lines.
- Observer lines being wrapped.
- Go to Hamburger -> Settings -> General settings -> Display
- De-select
Auto-fit messages - Navigate back to the message with the long lines.
- Observe that nothing has changed.
Expected behavior
Wrapping lines is a vital feature that cannot be omitted.
Some messages need to be line-wrapped, for example when a long text is sent by a human.
Other messages need to be kept intact, in case there is a plain-text table embedded into this message.
(Which are plentiful in various reports.)
Auto-fit messages seem to be implementing this feature, but it does not work.
Actual behavior
No visible change after selecting/de-selecting Auto-fit messages
Logs
No response

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in a message with long wrapped lines using app version 6.801 on Android 9, then inspect Hamburger → Settings → General settings → Display and the message display behavior. The work is done when selecting and de-selecting “Auto-fit messages” produces the expected change between wrapped and intact lines.
