Not that it's a big effort, but if \"is writing…\" could be written above the input box and replaced by the real message once it's received.\r\nSome IM like MSN Messenger or Kopete did that, and it was quite comfortable. :-)"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/kontalk/androidclient/issues/comments/144029046","html_url":"https://github.com/kontalk/androidclient/issues/559#issuecomment-144029046","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/kontalk/androidclient/issues/559","id":144029046,"user":{"login":"breversa","id":2071276,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2071276?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/breversa","html_url":"https://github.com/breversa","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/breversa/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/breversa/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/breversa/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/breversa/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/breversa/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/breversa/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/breversa/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/breversa/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/breversa/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-09-29T11:12:57Z","updated_at":"2015-09-29T11:12:57Z","body":"I'm using v3.0.6 from F-Droid on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8\" running CyanogenMod 12 (unofficial).\r\n\r\nI think I understand what you mean regarding Hangout. If the messages are moved up when the \"typing…\" balloon is displayed, then moved down if the contact stops typing, I understand it can be bothersome.\r\n\r\nI think it could be avoided by creating a smallish placeholder empty line between the last message and the input box. The \"typing…\" notification would appear in that line.\r\nThat way, messages don't get moved up and down when the contact starts/stops typing. If the line is small enough (= same size as the time font ?), lost screen space can be minimal."}}
