Problem displaying names of users when searching for them on mobile (iOS app)

 ![IMG_0687](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/8/3/9/8396db0b09526ff186d5155a229fbe6396ef9863.jpeg)

First, names are half-hidden.

Then, if you’ve added more names to the list, the search result item is now completely hidden (you can’t see it, I know, but « it’s there »).

PS: other mobile issue discovered while making this topic: once you’ve selected a tag, getting out of tag selection to actually write your message is very fiddly because the tag list covers everything:

I think there is a topic about the tag dropdown here: [How I am supposed to know how to close the tag selector on mobile?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-i-am-supposed-to-know-how-to-close-the-tag-selector-on-mobile/400390)

We have a big project on our backlog to replace all of these finicky elements with a much sturdier new component, but it’s still in the works.

In the meantime, this should bring it back to a useable level, I hope
