I'm testing the GNU/Linux 64bit version on Debian Stretch (QT version 5.7.1) with Openbox and a resolution lower than 1400 x 1050.

Unfortunately, I have to undecorate the window and resize and move it to the top edge to access the "send" button. The input field and the emoji and attachment buttons are still partially obscured by my panel.

Resizing the window should have a more responsive effect, keeping all the buttons and fields accessible.

Thanks for reporting. This is a couple of issues combined, which I'll capture here and hopefully get to in the next few days:

Back buttons are missing on certain panels in android/small resolution mode
the mode switch is currently performing an incorrect calculation because we changed to width of the contact pane
the input panel has an implicit width being set somewhere that means it refuses to reduce its width past a certain threshold.

This seems to be the case for the height of the conversation area and the width of the contact pane, too, with the former causing most of the trouble for me.

We think this should be fixed as of #133 - which is currently making its way through continuous deployment. If you can pick up the latest binaries (should be ready in ~1hr) and test them out, that would be great. Otherwise this should be out in 1.0.3
