Description
### Description
While browsing old messages, the scroll position jumps every time a new message arrives. This is aggravating on an active channel, as what I'm trying to read is continually yanked out of view every couple of seconds and I am left disoriented in some other part of the timeline.
### Steps to reproduce
- Scroll back in the message history
- Try to read old messages
- Notice that the text you're trying to read jumps out of position whenever a new message arrives
New messages should not cause on-screen text to move unless the message view is scrolled to the bottom.
