Reproduction

A bit complicated to emulate this behavior if you have strong connection and fast device.
Below are steps that working for me.

Open Status
Join public chat
Go offline
Go online and quickly until "Connecting" is shown send message
Turn off WI-FI
Wait ~1 min
Turn on WI-FI and after a while you can see "Not confirmed. Tap for options."
Tap on it, try to resend message

@churik I tried to replicate on android emulator, and an huawei media pad, but in both cases it worked as expected, would you mind trying to replicate once more? seems more like a UI bug to me, does deleting a chat work ? (the one that uses the same pop-up). Thanks!

I have tried to install nightly on a moto g5 , but I can't install status anymore on there (says This app could not be installed), maybe something changed with the build? (any idea @jakubgs @PombeirP ?)

@cammellos yes, deleting is working fine.
Unfortunately, I have only one device, where I can replicate it.
@Serhy please help

Yes, I reproduced on my devices (Android 6.0.1, Android 8, Android 9)
So as described in the steps, first you need to get 'Not confirmed. Tap for options' under message.
(I've got it catching 'Send' button active while WiFi disabled)
Now, if you stay Offline with Not confirmed state under message - tapping upon this option has no issues when Resend/Delete and tapping anywhere on screen closes this bottom-pop up.

However, after you appear online (note: the status of chat at the top changes from Offline -> Connecting... -> Connected which may screw UI why issue appears) then this bug happens:
tapping anwhere on shadowed area and area of 'Resend' button have no effect, - instead chat items are selectable (so if I tap upon 'Resend' which is above another user-pic with message - I can open user profile).

Also, if to reopen app that UI glitch still takes place. The 'Delete message' works though (maybe because this option appears above not the chat with messages view but 'Chat input'.

Basically yes, this Resend/Delete message dialog with shadowed area appears to have no effect in the messages area of chat view, after user appears online.
