Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Begin by reproducing the issue in the group video call widget and gather the missing browser, operating system, application version, and homeserver details; trace the message-list scroll behavior when selecting “Delete for Everyone.” Done means deleting a message no longer unexpectedly scrolls the chat away from the latest messages.
