Research direction

Start by locating the new-conversation screen and its contact-entry layout, then reproduce the issue by adding contacts until the entry field moves off-screen. Check how scrolling is handled on that screen. Done means the contact-entry field remains reachable, either through scrolling or by adjusting the layout.
