I don't have an Android and I can't replicate it on iOS.

1. Send a message in chat
2. Tap the < arrow in the LHN
3. Tap on the chat again, there's no bouncing

I think this might be similar to these reports

#11962
#12237

So I don't know if this needs to be a new fix - sending to eng for a second opinion

My Android build is broken, but I think this could be related to #11962
#12237

Just tested this, and there are 2 scenarios here:

1. If we have scrolled to a chat in the history, then re-opening the chat scrolls to the latest message. And in this case, this feels like a smooth transition.
2. If we hadn't scrolled chat when we opened it the first time and then when we re-open chat, there is a noticeable scroll effect.

I am not entirely sure what the expected behaviour is here, so I will ask for help from the team.

Not overdue, I have started a discussion on slack. But IMO we can fix the Android scrolling behaviour.
