Description

**Is your suggestion related to a problem? Please describe.**
Currently, the typing notification [leaves empty space when it dissapers](https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/8552). This might be solved by [this](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk/pull/5590) but that is still not an ideal solution since that moves the timeline.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
The typing notification could be moved below the composer like Discord does it:

This avoids any interaction with the timeline. I think this is a very important thing to consider when working on [Scalable Composer](https://github.com/vector-im/roadmap/issues/21).
