+# Fix "Save passphrase in settings" toggle unreachable on desktop
+
+## Symptom
+
+On 7.0 desktop (reproduced on the Linux AppImage and on Windows), in
+Chat data → Database passphrase & export → Database passphrase, the
+"Save passphrase in settings" toggle cannot be switched off. The reporter sees
+the switch sitting slightly past the right edge of the section card. Because the
+setting stays on, the passphrase remains stored in `settings.properties` and the
+app never prompts for it on start — on desktop that file holds the passphrase in
+clear text, since `Cryptor.desktop.kt` is an identity implementation.
+
+This is distinct from the case where the switch is *rendered disabled*
+(`DatabaseEncryptionView.kt:127`, `enabled = (!initialRandomDBPassphrase && !progressIndicator) || migration`),
+which is intended behaviour for a database still using the initial random
+passphrase. The reports here are from users who set their own passphrase, so
+`initialRandomDBPassphrase == false` and the switch is enabled — just not
+reachable.
+
+## Root cause
+
+1. `SavePassphraseSetting` is hand-rolled in both platform actuals
+   (`DatabaseEncryptionView.desktop.kt:43-53`, `.android.kt:43-53`) and is the
+   only toggle row in the app whose label carries no `weight`:
+
+   ```kotlin
+   Text(stringResource(MR.strings.save_passphrase_in_settings), Modifier.padding(end = 24.dp))
+   Spacer(Modifier.fillMaxWidth().weight(1f))
+   DefaultSwitch(checked = useKeychain, onCheckedChange = onCheckedChange, enabled = enabled)
+   ```
+
+   `Row` measures unweighted children first against the full available width, then
+   divides what is left among weighted ones. A label that does not comfortably fit
+   consumes the remainder, the weighted `Spacer` collapses to zero, and
+   `DefaultSwitch` is placed past the row's right edge.
+
+2. Every other toggle row goes through `SettingsActionItemWithContent`
+   (`SettingsView.kt:380`), which gives the label `Modifier.weight(1f)`. There the
+   label truncates and the trailing control keeps its size and position, so the
+   same string length is harmless.
+
+3. Before #6777 this row had enough slack and no clipping. `SectionView` was a
+   plain `Column` with no horizontal inset, and `SectionItemView` used
+   `DEFAULT_PADDING` (20.dp) per side — 348.dp of content width on the desktop
+   start pane (`DEFAULT_START_MODAL_WIDTH` = 388.dp). Any overflow still drew and
+   still received pointer events.
+
+4. #6777 introduced `LocalCardScreen` / `CardColumnLayout` (`Section.kt`), which
+   wraps section content in `Modifier.padding(horizontal = CARD_PADDING /* 18.dp */)`
+   … `.clip(SectionCardShape)`, and switches `itemHPadding` from `DEFAULT_PADDING`
+   to `CARD_PADDING`. `DatabaseEncryptionView` is opened with `cardScreen = true`
+   (`DatabaseView.kt:235`), so its row content width drops 348.dp → **316.dp**.
+
+5. `Modifier.clip` clips pointer input as well as drawing. The displaced switch is
+   therefore both cut off visually and unhittable — the toggle stops working rather
+   than merely looking wrong.
+
+Budget arithmetic on the desktop start pane: fixed cost in the row is ~96.dp
+(24 icon + 8 spacer + 24 label end-padding + ~40 switch), leaving ~220.dp for a
+27-character label at 16.sp, which needs ~215.dp in English. Borderline at 100%
+font scale and over budget as soon as the label is longer — a longer localization,
+or a larger font size, since the label scales with `fontSizeSqrtMultiplier` while
+`CARD_PADDING` does not.
+
+The widths above are derived from the layout constants, not measured against a
+running client; the reporter's observation that the switch sits slightly past the
+card edge is what confirms the row overflows in practice.
+
+## Fix
+
+Move the weight onto the label and drop the weighted spacer, in both actuals:
+
+```kotlin
+Text(stringResource(MR.strings.save_passphrase_in_settings), Modifier.weight(1f).padding(end = 24.dp))
+DefaultSwitch(checked = useKeychain, onCheckedChange = onCheckedChange, enabled = enabled)
+```
+
+The label now truncates instead of displacing the switch, matching what
+`SettingsActionItemWithContent` does for every other toggle row.
+
+The spacer has to go: leaving both the label and the spacer weighted would split
+the remaining space between them and starve the label instead, which trades one
+layout bug for another.
+
+## Why this fix and not alternatives
+
+- **Widening the card or shrinking `CARD_PADDING`** would buy back the ~32.dp lost
+  in #6777, but only until the next longer localization or font-size step. The row
+  would stay the one place in the app where a long label can push a control out of
+  reach.
+- **Removing `clip` from `CardColumnLayout`** would restore clickability of
+  overflowing content, but the clip is what gives section cards their rounded
+  corners; dropping it would regress the design and leave the switch drawn outside
+  its card.
+- **Shortening the string** is a translation-wide problem, not a fix, and does not
+  help at larger font sizes.
+
+## Impact
+
+- Desktop and Android only. Both actuals carry the identical defect; Android's row
+  is in fact narrower still (~288.dp on a 360.dp-wide screen), so it is affected at
+  least as much — it simply has not been reported.
+- iOS is unaffected: `DatabaseEncryptionView.swift` uses a SwiftUI `Toggle` inside
+  `settingsRow`, where the label truncates and the toggle cannot be displaced. The
+  `initialRandomDBPassphrase` disabled-state logic is the same on iOS
+  (`DatabaseEncryptionView.swift:80`) and is unchanged by this fix.
+- Users already stuck in the bad state have `StoreDBPassphrase=true` in
+  `settings.properties` with the passphrase stored alongside it. After this fix
+  they can turn the setting off in the UI, which removes the stored passphrase via
+  `removePassphraseFromKeyChain` and restores the prompt on start.
+- No behaviour change beyond the row layout: no logic, preference, or string was
+  touched.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `bash ~/build/linux.sh` on this branch: cold `dist-newstyle`, `libsimplex.so`
+  rebuilt from master's sources, `:common:compileKotlinDesktop` executed,
+  `BUILD SUCCESSFUL`, AppImage produced.
+- `bash ~/build/android.sh` on this branch: `BUILD SUCCESSFUL`, arm64-v8a debug APK
+  produced (native libs are the prebuilt ones, so this exercises the Kotlin change
+  only).
+- Not done: the rendered row has not been checked in a running client. Worth
+  confirming at a raised font size and in a locale with a longer label, which is
+  the case that made the overflow visible in the first place.
