Bug description

while setting up payments I'm shown my "recovery phrase"

one of my words is shown as "respo..." should that be response? respond?

I suspect this truncation is because my iphone has an accessibility feature turned on. Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size. https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/display-text-size-iph3e2e1fb0/16.0/ios/16.0

Steps to reproduce

• on iphone Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size . set it to 'Larger'
• update signal from app store to latest version via https://apps.apple.com/us/app/signal-private-messenger/id874139669
• settings -> payments
• follow steps
• when shown 24 word "recovery phrase" hope for a long one

Actual result: one of my words was shown as "respo..."

Expected result: The word wrapped or otherwise not truncated.

Screenshots

No, sharing my recovery phase any more than I have seems unwise.

Hi @cariaso

I'm curious to know if when presented with a recovery phrase that is truncated, if you are able to rotate your device to landscape mode and view the entire phrase?

[cariaso]

The setup seems to be 1time only, so I don't believe I have a way to retest, but I suspect I tried that to no avail.

Signal version 6.40 should allow you to rotate the device and view the entire phrase when in this scenario. But we appreciate you bringing it to your attention!
