Bug description

If I want to see in a group who have seen the message or who has received it, I have to hold on the message and click the info button and the bug that you'll see is that some name of the group is repeated 2/3 times overwriting the right one and/or some of them are inverted.

Another bug is that when I'm in the main page of Signal where I see all the chats that I have some of the letters of picture of the profile are wrong get inverted with some of the other users letters.

Steps to reproduce

send a message in a group
look for more info
some of the contacts is repeated more times overwriting the real one

Actual result: cannot see to who is delivered or seen and not
Expected result: should be able to do it

Device info

Device: Pixel 2 xl
Android version: 9.0
Signal version: latest

Link to debug log

if you need it I'll send it to you through Signal

Hey, so it's not exactly clear what's happening here. I have groups with various member lengths, and the message info screen is always clear. I know this is tricky because the things that aren't being rendered correctly are people's names, but is there a ways you could send a screenshot and blur the names? I'm having trouble picturing it.

You can also send a signal message to one of my test numbers: +1 610 549 1426

I have a group with 4 members (A,B,C and me) and when I go to this info screen, I can see the name of A with the picture of C, B with its picture and C with its picture. If I go back and scroll up and down to the same message again, the info screen is ok now.

Signal 4.42.3, Android 7.

I am experiencing this issue.
-I have experienced this issue for a long time over many Signal versions. Although at one point the issue died for awhile and now has resurfaced. I can remember this issue as far back as 4.43.8 I think.
-I don't think everyone experiences this issue, and it can't really be reproduced right away. User has to close Signal and return after awhile, when I open Signal after some period I go into group chat and check the delivery status of group messages and the bug shows. Exiting from message info view and re- entering usually does not reproduce the bug again. The bug is usually only seen the first time you view message info, viewing message info for other messages does not usually reproduce the bug again although once in awhile it does according to my experience. I could record all this with a screen recording app if somebody recommends me an open source one.
-It seems like it may be a group message info UI issue on the surface but not entirely sure what goes on underneath.
-Names and profile pictures of some group members are replaced by others when viewing a group messages info. When first entering the info view for a few seconds you can watch names and profile pictures of contacts flickering back and forth/ being replaced by different contacts until the flickering slows down and comes to a halt. Usually it ends in a mess but sometimes the correct names and pictures show.
-Atleast one group member has confirmed experiencing the same issue.
-We have one group member who is a an official Signal developer (Scott) who's account seems passive and who some suspect may be running a modified client although we are not sure about that (which caused some debate and resulted delay to report this). Attempts to get a response from Scott are unsuccessful.
-One or 2 group members may be running their own Signal forks but it should not make too much a difference since their forks do not modify the end to end encryption AFAIK.
-Two members of the group may not be sharing their profile with the group (including Scott), one has confirmed that he is not sharing his profile and instead has the Sealed Sender option 'allow from anyone' turned on so that Sealed Sender can work for him. As for Scott you can see his account does not recieve sealed sender, we suspect he has not shared his profile and does not use the 'allow from anyone' feature but there is no way for us to confirm this ATM).
-I can also see others outside our group have experienced this bug, so the bug is not exclusive to our group only 🙂
Here are my 2 relevant debug logs with relevant screen shots for each.
