SUMMARY Currently compact mode makes messages go all the way to the right of the window. This has a few problems, like the message date being overlapped from the "jump to bottom"- button at times, or the quick actions buttons overlapping the "jump to bottom"-button. It would also generate consistency with other clients which do something similar (i.e electron, discord, potentially others) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.96.0 Qt Version: 5.15.5 Kernel Version: 5.18.9-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland NeoChat: 22.06
This is partially helped by https://invent.kde.org/network/neochat/-/merge_requests/466 which moves the time next to the name for the exact reason you mentioned of overlap with the quick action both in compact and bubble mode. What width do you think it should be? Are you thinking of just adding some padding to the right to avoid the buttons or a hard maximum for when the screen get really wide?
Was thinking of just padding on the right, probably "large spacing" or if that's not enough multiply it. A hard maximum would look weird IMO.
