Typed text drops below composer window when typing longer messages #6232

Steps to reproduce

When typing a longer message in EXA, the composer often fails to scroll the text upwards and show the current line of text which you're typing. This can continue for multiple lines until you pause typing for around half a second, at which point it'll successfully scroll the text up to the correct position.

To recreate, type a sufficiently long message that causes the composer to scroll the text upwards beyond the viewable window. While you continue typing, the most recent text line where you're currently typing often obscures below the bottom of the composer. If you don't take a momentary break, you can even obscure multiple lines of text until pausing.

ote S20 running Amdroid 13, and a Pixel 9 Pro running GrapheneOS (based on Android 16).

Outcome

Expect the composer to scroll the text upwards as soon as your cursor drops onto a new line, like classic Element and every other messaging app composer.

Composer doesn't scroll until you pause typing, causing you to either have to wait, or continue typing with no view of what text you've entered.
