Before scrollTo() was used, but this does not work when the window is not visible. So now when the chat is in the background we scroll only half a line and stop following. The user will see that something happened and have the anchor to jump to the bottom. Signed-off-by: Joas Schilling <[email protected]>

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think this is actually what the biggest problem was. It removed the scroll-to-bottom button, although it wasn't scrolled to the bottom

cc @ma12-co @jancborchardt The main question is if the "scroll only half" behaviour is actually wanted, or if we should just scrolldown fully (as it was attempted to, but didn't do because scrollTo() only works on visible windows)
