Hi all,

Just ran into what appears to be a bug in the CSS with personal chat. Easiest way to explain it is a screenshot (I have randomized the text):

 ![Screen Shot 2023-03-21 at 10.28.18 AM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/a/5/9/a59a9a08b011fe1ff697749fa22571e239f91bce.jpeg)

Perhaps this is a theme-level bug? I’m using `neutral`, which I believe is a default, so I figured it might be worth posting about.

TIA 🙏

Looking at the ‘today’ separator, it looks like the whole page is extended. I wonder if that’s because of how many participants you have in your group chat? Let me see if I can test it out.

Yes that’s most likely this will look for a fix

Yeah, there are a bunch in there. I tried digging through the hierarchy that contains the name list, and it seems like there is an `overflow: hidden;` and `text-overflow: ellipsis` set on it, but for some reason the width must be getting set higher up the tree. Haven’t managed to figure out how or why myself.

We pushed a fix for this, that should be good now 👍
