WearOS [Android] Annoying interface glitch

Surprisingly, despite WearOS not exactly being an officially supported platform, because it's basically Android, 99% of Discord functionality works! The app can be sideloaded by any advanced user (which, let's face it, is already anyone nerdy enough to own a WearOS watch and not just a cheap activity band), and most of the interface is fully accessible on the puny round display of my Galaxy Watch4, thanks to the app's dynamic scaling. However, just one part of the interface that gets weird, and that's this box at the top of the PMs list that says "Find or start a conversation." The text causes the box to grow, making it gigantic, yet it remains pinned to the top, blocking out the entire list! Meanwhile, other parts of the interface all seem to scale fine and either force text to become smaller, or don't let it expand the container/button size, using "..." for any overflow. This includes all the channels being easily accessible in servers.

Considering that this issue also affects any Android device with a relatively smol display, and not just WearOS, and the fact that this is inconsistent scaling behavior regardless of screen size, I feel that this strange UI issue should be addressed.

Oh, and before you say "why would you want Discord on a watch wtf is wrong with you," the answer is:
1. Because I can. Heck you, this is Cyberpunk 2022 and I'm living in the future baby!
2. It's not primarily for sending messages, but it's way more functional to use the app for checking new messages in servers and PMs than digging through notifications, which have a number of issues with them.

Checking messages and replying is a fairly basic feature that Discord should make available to WearOS users
