Description

### Steps to reproduce

When scrolling through a chat room, when link previews load, they cause the text to jump upward, making it really hard to quickly scroll through a chat room and skim the messages. As soon as you start reading something, the text jumps out of sight. Here is a video of it.

#### What happened instead?

Text jumps around when link preview loads.
