Some longer texts extend outside of the text bubble

[dieharddan]

Hello, sometimes when receiving texts, the text will extend outside the text bubble and will become partly unreadable. I am using a OPO device

Thank you for the report. This issue mostly occurs in convergence mode and is affecting other apps like fluffychat or telegram too sometimes. We need to find a better way to calculate the label width. Maybe a new toolkit can help with this task @bhdouglass ?

Looks like a word wrapping issue, unless I'm missing something @ChristianPauly ?

You need a hidden rendering, then measuring, then text box sizing function like in TELEports or the old Telegram app...

Okay, so here we have the width calculation in messages app: https://github.com/ubports/messaging-app/blob/xenial/src/qml/MessageBubble.qml#L114-L119

And here in (old) Telegram using an invisible Label with the same text for width calculation: https://github.com/ubports/telegram-app/blob/master/telegram/app/qml/components/MessagesListItem.qml#L278
Looks a little bit hacky but seems to work better. We should adapt the Telegram solution to fix this ;)

Would TextMetrics help here? https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-textmetrics.html

Not to forget that in Telegram we need support for text formatting, while messaging app just has plain text, maybe thats the difference.

Got this now also with an MMS:

My wife and I have the same issue with mms. She had an OPO and me a bq E5-HD Ubuntu Edition.
Another very strange mms behavior, but this time only on my wife's OPO: sometime, she received new sms mixed with old sms. That is crazy! But probably not the same issue?
