Steps to reproduce

  1. Where are you starting? What can you see?

Opened a chat on Element Nightly. In room timeline there is a large amount of padding to the left of the avatar/text and to the right.

As if it's got:

#timeline {
  max-width: ...px;
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
}

Is this intended or a bug? I feel like my screen real estate is being wasted :(

Please let me know if logs/anything else would help.

What did you expect?

The text to expand to the full width of the container.

What happened instead?

The text is contained in a narrow container.

This was done intentionally in Bubble layout to prevent the bubbles being at opposite ends of your screen
