Bug description

There is a UI glitch introduced in 7.12.3 showing up in chats. The change of the dark mode switch is not recognized anymore in group and single chats, while it seems working in overview and settings.

Steps to reproduce

Set Signal theme to the "System default"
Open a chat
Go to Android's settings and switch the theme to dark mode
Back to Signal and see if the chat screen updates to match

Actual result: Chat view stays light. Expected result: Chat view should change to dark mode

Device: Pixel 6a Android version: 14 Signal version: 7.12.3 + 7.13.4

I changed to new Android device and experienced something similar.

I had dark mode in my previous device's Signal application. I used set up my device solution to get all my data and installed apps to new device. Signal had the dark mode set by default but it did not take effect until I switch it to light mode and then back to dark mode. My new phone settings does not have dark mode set, only Signal app have.

Environment: Device: moto g84 5G Android version: 14 Signal version: 7.14.2
