new auto-scroll feature to last message when replying to messages is counterproductive #374

one impediment of using Wire has been the inability to quickly get back to the last/most recent message after doing a search or after scrolling up through message history - this becomes more problematic the larger your message history becomes

now in the most recent update we see auto-scrolling to the most recent message after you reply to an older message while this might seem logical and useful it is very counterproductive

problem - if you have 50 messages to reply to you from a user you will be fighting the program for each reply as it will auto-scroll to the most recent messages forcing you to scroll back and find where you last replied ... this is a tremendous waste of time and is counterproductive -

in post #370 i had suggested a down arrow button (this can hover when you are in scrolled into the message history or during a search and you have moved to an older/historical message or it can be added elsewhere in the user interface)

suggested action disable this new auto-scroll to current message when replying and implement a hovering down arrow button
this will go a long way towards improving WIRE usability and will enhance users ability to use WIRE in a team/collaborative setting
