GIFs stored in Media have some of their embed's height cut-off when sent if "Media from links" is set to comfortable

Observed behaviour

Some of the height on the embedded GIF is cut-off and can only be seen when you open the image.

  2. Go to "Messages & Media" and set "Media from links (embeds)" to Comfortable (550 x 400).
  3. Scroll down to "Save GIF Favorites as Saved Media" and enable it.
  4. Close your settings and send a GIF that's not starred.
  5. Star the GIF you just sent and save it to Media.
