Hi,

Doesn't this change (ChatMessageViewController:348 in commit) happen to fix the issue? I also couldn't reproduce it with the latest version (2024.8.0).

Unfortunately in my experience it still happens for some users sometimes

Could someone describe this in better detail? I see multiple scenarios and I feel, if im gonna fix one, another will fall apart.
Situations(assuming that chat is full of messages and scrollbar is visible):

• An user moved scrollbar somewhere, e.g. top of chat. Suddenly, someone writes a message -> what should happen? Is this the scenario we are talking of?
• An user focus is at the end of chat. Suddenly, someone writes a message -> again, what? Should it now follow new messages or the last message, where focus at?

Ad2: Do we assuming same results, when a message is send either from other users or the client user?

I'm wondering, if the fix should also introduce button like the intellij has for logs (scroll to end)

It is supposed to work like discord chat. When a user is already at the bottom of the chat it should scroll up to include the most recent message when a new message is received. When a user is not at the bottom of the chat it should not scroll and should preserve their location in the chat window.

When the user themself sends a message it scrolls to the bottom no matter where they are.
