Steps to Reproduce

Prerequisites: Have a course with at least one student and one teacher enrolled:

  2. As the student, reply back to the teacher’s message.

  3. When navigating to the message details on the app, the first message (sent by the teacher in this scenario) will be truncated, and the student won’t be able to read the full message they initially received.
