This is an edge case with a customize placement of Fx account avatar. We'll look at the recipe and decide whether to update the message configuration. This may be a lower level issue with the panel component itself. We will investigate.

Meg -- I know this got marked as a low priority bug. That said, we're thinking of excluding Linux users in the recipe configuration to avoid this scenario. Does this seem like an acceptable solution? Or are there any other suggestions you might have here? This survey will be timeboxed and we'll still be able to get the feedback we're looking for with Android and MacOS users.

Excluding Linux sounds like a reasonable approach.
