Revision history [back]

To recheck that I have opened the right chat in Messages app I swipe left to peak into the contact page when writing a message.

In landscape you can't realy peak, because when in editing mode (second page with keyboard visible) after around 2cm of swiping the movement is blocked. And the keyboard doesn't swipe out and therefore overlaps most of the area. But you can do a full swipe by releasing the finger and the contact page will be fully shown.

If you are in landscape and in read only mode of a single chat (second page without the keyboard) the swipe stopps after around 4cm. Only half of the contact page width is visible.

In portrait mode you are able to swipe left and peak 80% or more of the contact page width. But if you open a chat from main (first) page, start editing and than try to swipe left and peak the contact page is show shifted up and only the bottom 50% off the hight of the avatar image is visible.

When done a full swipe to the third page the contact is show correct with full avatar image visible. And after swiping back to the chat than also in editing mode the avatar image is fully visible when trying again to swipe left / peak into the contact page.

Update: corrected word "swipe" to "pull" for the used gesture.

Note by @ssahla: This seems to be a general problem in landscape mode, not only Messages. Edited the title to be more general. See my answer below for speculation on what is causing the bug.
