Bug description

I received a long message, which needed to be expanded via the "read more" button to read the whole thing. Then, the message was edited. The edit appears in the chat, but when I tap "read more" the edit disappears

Steps to reproduce

• send long message to group chat (long enough that it gets collapsed with the "read more" button)
• edit the message but keep it long

Actual result: the edited version is visible in the collapsed message but not when you expand it Expected result: the edited version is visible both collapsed and expanded

Screenshots

Device info

Device: Pixel 8 Android version: 14 Signal version: 7.8.1

Attempted to reproduce via note to self, it didn't happen there. It happened in a group chat, and I don't want to spam the group to try to reproduce. It was someone else who sent the long message
