Weird bug causing OP text to be on the left side

This seems to happen intermittently. An OP title and text will be squeezed into a column on the left side, with the blue 'reply' button alone on the right.

The buttons below the post are also squeezed into the narrow left hand column.

Also no replies appear.

Weirdly, once I click the 'reply' button, the OP shows up in the correct format, and after posting a reply it stays that way. However other replies still don't appear.

This is the latest thread I've seen this happen in. Using a pixel 4a

I just tested that out and you're right. We should be able to come up with a fix for this soon.
