Description
Description:
The chat feed behaves unstably when a message is deleted. The feed position jumps to the bottom of the chat immediately after a deletion, causing the user to lose their place in the conversation.
Steps to reproduce:
- Scroll up to view older messages.
- Click the Delete button on any message.
- Observe the feed.
Expected behavior:
The message should be removed, and the feed position should remain stable, keeping the user at the same point in the conversation chat.
Actual behavior:
The chat feed automatically jumps all the way to the bottom immediately after the message is deleted.
