Update

Kept finding bugs left and right so spent like 6 hours fixing every bug I encountered. I don't remember every bug I fixed so enjoy. If anyone finds any bugs let me know. Bug fixes will go out in v1.79.1.

Ok I went back and read through my commit so I can make a list of the fixes:

Made the mod log bottom sheet easier to dismiss by swiping.
Greatly improved the speed that the inbox screen loads
Fix a bug where the edit comment quick action will be disabled/enabled when it shouldn't be.
Fix a bug where when an image loads, the image will have a height of 0 for 1 frame causing a flicker.
Fix a bug where opening a post will sometimes cause the bottom nav to flicker in for 1 frame.
Fix a bug where sometimes AVIF images will be loaded at a much higher resolution then necessary.
Improve the loading spinner so that it waits a tiny bit before showing. This means that the loading spinner will not appear on screens that loads nearly instantly. This should be a slight UX improvement as it should decrease the frequency of you seeing the loading spinner for a frame and then disappearing.
Fix a bug where when you are using full layout and have a max height set, sometimes the text in the full layout will appear as if the text has been offset by a random amount.

Update 2

v1.79.2 release. More bug fixes:

Allow search field to be blank when doing a search. This is a valid search since sometimes you want to search for posts posted by a person a on community.
Fix a bug where the post is obscured by navigation rail when in "tablet" mode.
Fix a bug where back press on a post does not close the post in rare edge cases.

Might be related, when I scroll down the list of my own comments on my profile almost always a loading spinner will appear and not go away again. It will still remain on the list of my posts.

Thank you for the update! One request: please make it so it doesn't display the edit comment quick action on comments I can't actually edit. The greyed out button takes up valuable space and makes the button list scrollable on deeply nested comments which feels kinda annoying

Image peeking is great, cheers mate 👍

Clicking on the "open context" button while in tablet mode results in the post being partly obscured by the sidebar:
