Designs of how headers look like can be found here (Zeplin):

• 1:1 chat, unknown person: zpl.io/aRqj4dv
• 1:1 chat with a contact: zpl.io/am6gW4v
• Public chat: zpl.io/bAv8OjB

@churik this Issue should be re-validated against latest manual desktop build. Hopefully, shouldn't appear any more since #4578 is merged already.

Still reproducible on desktop, build 11

@rcullito @churik chat headers visibility issue visually looks like the corresponding text label doesn't get the width correctly and brake one line test into multi-line. It seems it somehow depends on the length of available chats titles.

@Maxris so the problem is not in react-native side?

@churik I haven't yet checked exactly this issue, but it seems that after recent change in react-native-desktop headers started working better/differently at least for me :)

[churik]

It is still trimmed to shortest channel name in the list (for example if you are switching between #tchu channel and 'Testing IOS recover' 1-1 chat, chat header for 1-1 becomes 'Testin')

Will take this while @rcullito is unavailable
