Description

Steps to reproduce
  1. Open the Nextcloud Talk Android app.
  2. Enter a chat with a long history of messages.
  3. Scroll up to view earlier messages.
  4. Switch to another app or press the Home button.
  5. Return to Nextcloud Talk.
Expected behaviour

The chat should remain at the same scroll position where I left off, so I can continue reading older messages without interruption.

Actual behaviour

Upon reopening the app, the chat view automatically scrolls to the most recent messages at the bottom, discarding my previous scroll position.
