Description
When sending a message the message view doesn't scroll to the bottom for about a second. When it eventually scrolls it will only scroll to the end of that particular message, potentielly leaving the typing indicator (and maybe even new messages sometimes? it's hard to reproduce because they would need to arrive within this 1 second window) below the visible scroll area.
This makes me constantly have to scroll down the view to make sure no message was accidentally missed.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the Android message view: send a message and observe the delayed scroll, typing indicator, and any messages arriving during the delay. Trace the scroll behavior around message sending and verify that the view consistently reaches the bottom, including the typing indicator and newly received messages.
