Whitespace

SUMMARY
Sending new messages when screen is full either doesn't scroll at all or scrolls way too much (inserting blank space in the process)

The whitespace goes away when you switch chats.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a chat
2. Send messages until they don't fit on screen

OBSERVED RESULT
Either KDE Connect SMS
- doesn't scroll at all, *or*
- it inserts ~90% whitespace into the chat dialog

EXPECTED RESULT
Normal scrolling behaviour

This is definitely a thing that happens. Thanks for taking the time to write the bug report.

In the title you said "when sending messages that don't fit on screen". By this, do you mean sending messages in the case when it should scroll down to show the new messages? (As opposed to the case where there might have already been whitespace?)

For me, this happens only sometimes, other times the scrolling works. Is it 100% for you? If not, have you been able to pin down the situation in which this happens reliably?
