Group read state in message cuts off reply button when you like the post

AI-generated summary

A Group Read State Issue exists on the mobile version of Discourse, where the reply button disappears when a post is liked. ondrej reported the issue and shared screenshots to demonstrate the problem. awesomerobot implemented a minor fix, allowing users to horizontally scroll the controls to access the reply button once expanded. However, a more comprehensive solution may be needed, as awesomerobot believes the mobile menu is due for bigger changes in the near future.

Hello there :waving_hand:

This is bugging us especially if we are on mobile. Not really in any rush at the moment to get a fix but would love it for the sake of simple way of replying.

Thanks

I made a very minor fix here where once expanded, you can horizontally scroll the controls so you can access everything.

I briefly looked at allowing the controls to wrap, but it’s not the easiest change to make, doesn’t look great, and I think we’re due for some bigger mobile menu changes in the near future anyway… because it’s overloaded!
