Body

I was using Copilot Chat in the GitHub Android
app. The assistant provided a long link for a
bug report.

The link extended beyond the bottom edge of
the screen, so I couldn't open it.

Expected behavior:
Long links should stay visible and be
accessible in the Android app.

Actual behavior:
The link was cut off at the bottom of the
screen and couldn't be opened.

If the link is clipped at the bottom, first dismiss the keyboard and scroll to the end of the chat. If the link still cannot be tapped, try asking Copilot to repeat the same destination as a Markdown link with a short label, such as Open bug report. That keeps the actual destination intact and avoids displaying the long URL as the label. If your app offers Copy on the message, you can also paste the URL into a browser instead.

For the Mobile team, a useful comparison would be the same long URL as plain text versus a short Markdown label, with the keyboard hidden. If both are clipped only when they appear as the final item, check the chat's bottom padding and scroll range; if only the raw URL fails, check URL wrapping. App version, Android version and display/font scale would make the report easier to reproduce.
