Bug description
The bottom bar covers part of the message's bubble (requiring swiping down and holding to read the full message) when Settings > Accessibility > [Vision] Display & Text Size > Reduce Transparency is turned ON. I checked, and disabling that accessibility feature does fix the issue (re-enabling makes the bottom bar too tall again).
Steps to reproduce
- Settings > Accessibility > Vision > Display & Text Size > Reduce Transparency > Enable
- Receive a message
- Dismiss the keyboard in a chat window
Actual result: The bottom of the text bubble is covered by the bottom bar, requiring you to swipe and hold to view the full text bubble.
Expected result: The message bubble snaps to the bottom of the screen and is flush with the bottom of the screen, showing the entire message.
