Message view jumps up when link preview loads #5002

Steps to reproduce

When scrolling through a chat room, when link previews load, they cause the text to jump upward, making it really hard to quickly scroll through a chat room and skim the messages. As soon as you start reading something, the text jumps out of sight. Here is a video of it.

Please, can link previews be generated right when the message comes in (in the background) and not just when the chat is opened? This would probably solve this issue and would contribute to better UX.
