[BUG] Short snackbar in tablets

[jesmrec]

Snackbar in tablets does not take advantage of the screen width. As an example:

Snackbars width should adapt better

Samsung Galaxy Tab A8, Android 14

Triage: not a code bug — this is default Material Snackbar behavior on large screens; changing it is a UX/design decision, not a fix.

The app creates snackbars with a plain Snackbar.make(...) and no width/gravity/style customization:

• owncloudApp/.../extensions/ActivityExt.kt:84 (showMessageInSnackbar), :98 (showSnackbarWithAction)
• owncloudApp/.../extensions/FragmentExt.kt:56 (showMessageInSnackbar), :68 (showSnackbarWithAction)

There is no snackbar style override in the app (no snackbarStyle/Widget.MaterialComponents.Snackbar theme entry). So on a tablet the Material component applies its own layout: a fixed max width, bottom-left aligned, not stretched to the screen edge. That's the intended Material spec for wide screens — snackbars are not meant to span full width.

So "snackbars width should adapt better" is a preference against the framework default, not broken layout. Making them wider/centered on tablets is doable (custom width + Gravity on the snackbar's layoutParams, or a snackbar style), but it deliberately diverges from Material and is a design call for the maintainers/UX — not a bug fix.

No code defect located; leaving as-is for a UX decision. Related but distinct from #4918 (edge-to-edge insets).
