honestly, without annotated screenshots filed in github.com/element-hq/element-x-ios/issues to highlight precisely what the problem is (ideally comparing with an equivalent app which you feel gets it correct) i’m not sure we’re going to be able to help you. the green box sounds like an accessibility helper feature of some kind which has got confused?

I mean, I'm not asking you to help me, I was just curious whether there was any more resources dedicated to the UI/UX of that particular view. If the answer is "no, and we feel the view is fine", then just say that. I might not agree with your choices but it's not going to stop me using the app. ;P I'm unlikely to stop and annotate a bunch of screenshots and put them on GitHub as I've other things to do with my time. The older I get, the more protective I am of my free time... as much as it sucks from an OSS perspective. > the green box sounds like an accessibility helper feature of some kind which has got confused? You mean in Element X itself? I have no accessibility features enabled on my devices, so I doubt it's an OS-level control in the way.

  Totally understand the need to curate free time. > If the answer is "no, and we feel the view is fine", then just say that. I might not agree with your choices but it's not going to stop me using the app. ;P It's more "no, and i can't understand the spacing problems which you're describing, and i'm wondering if you're on a strange aspect ratio screen or have zoomed the dynamictype lots or are RTL language or some other edge case that we haven't considered, so i'd like to see a screenshot to understand what you're seeing and if we're on the same page". > > the green box sounds like an accessibility helper feature of some kind which has got confused? > You mean in Element X itself? Nope, in iOS > I have no accessibility features enabled on my devices, so I doubt it's an OS-level control in the way. Huh. this really sounds like Button Shapes in iOS (https://osxdaily.com/2014/06/25/enable-button-shapes-ios/ https://osxdaily.com/2014/06/25/enable-button-shapes-ios/) or similar - and it getting confused by the fancy half-rust-half-SwiftUI rich text editor that EX has.
