      Login as two different users and send messages to the third user. Login as this third user and go to your messages. You will see two names on the left, click on one of them to see conversation (the attached screenshot is how the page used to look).

      Do the 'responsive resize scrub' - slowly change the browser width from very small to very big and note all the places where the layout is broken or non optimal:

      1. 260px - the two avatars stack weirdly
      2. 1200 - 1300px lots of wasted space
      3. 1305 - 1500px page is practically unusable

      Apply the patch and repeat and everything should be more smooth and usable at all widths

      Rinse and repeat with a right-to-left lang mode on. Run this in dev tools to toggle quickly:

      document.getElementById('page-message-index').classList.toggle("dir-rtl")
      

      If you have any trouble recreating the screenshot then comment out lines 498 and 500 of message/lib.php
