Option for "Add a comment..." button to not auto-hide on scroll? #287

Love the app and use it every day! One TINY thing that distracts me is how the "Add a comment..." field on a story auto-hides and reappears as you scroll up and down. I know some other apps like Safari do this, but most popular apps (Twitter, YouTube, etc.) have the comment field stay static and it feels much more pleasant, less distracting. It would be great if there was switch in the settings to enable "Auto-hide Reply Field" or something.

It would also be great if the component was full width and seamlessly matched the rest of the current theme! Here's a quick mockup I made to better convey what I have in mind.

Thanks!

I also think the main reason the current view is jarring is because the add comment field hides, but the comment jump button stays in the same position, leaving a weird gap of empty space. Perhaps the comment jump button should also move up and down as the comment field hides.

Good point. I can definitely make it less jarring or add a setting.
