Research direction
Reproduce this on app version 6.804 with Android 14, using the reply, draft, and reopen steps described; check whether the behavior also occurs with AOL. Trace the draft save and reopen flow, then verify that the complete body remains in its original reply section without the leading text shifting below it.
