Weird directions buttons on MMS image, text missing

I'm having a problem where the image part of an MMS message displays in Message+, but with strange buttons at the bottom: "DIRECTIONS", "SHARE MY LOCATION" AND "REQUEST LOCATION". At the top it also says "ETA: 0 Min". The text part of the message doesn't display at all. What causes this strange behavior and how can this be prevented?

tomvn, I am sorry to hear you are having a problem where strange buttons are showing up at the bottom image part of an MMS message. I am here to get to the bottom of this. What make and model device are you having issues with? Do you recall anything happening with your device leading up to this issue? If so please explain.

I have a Pixel 2. My company sends out automated text messages and I started receiving complaints about them not displaying properly. Some research revealed that only Verizon phones were affected. I don't use Verizon myself, but after I installed the Message+ app, the same happened on my phone.

Here's what it looks like: As you can see, no text message is visible, only the image and the confusing buttons. I believe this bug in your app is triggered by the presence of line breaks in the text message, but I haven't been able to confirm that yet.
