I have a feeling this is going to be fixed by the same thing as #14445, right @kbecciv?

Should we HOLD this for the same PR: #15611

[kbecciv]

@twisterdotcom I think this is completely different issue.

[MelvinBot]

@twisterdotcom Uh oh! This issue is overdue by 2 days. Don't forget to update your issues!

[MelvinBot]

@twisterdotcom Huh... This is 4 days overdue. Who can take care of this?

[twisterdotcom]

Okay, cool. I can repro. It's weird we have them in headers but whatever. Let's allow it!

This issue does not seems to be due to type of emoji,
rather it seems your messageCellHeight is being decided on the basis of content in the message.

When you send an emoji in the form of text, It calculates cell height on the basis of text font size lets say it is 14 pixel.
It returns the cell height 14 plus some threshold +5 or whatever number used, due to confusion in content the cell heigh computing function confuses it.

Just to try it make the height threshold number a little higher an check if it is still cutting the emoji.

Do let me know if you have confusion in understanding what I am saying...Contributor details
