Observed behaviour

I can see the live addition of bottom padding every single time I enter a channel. @mesub said "it is also loading other elements", but the point is that the padding addition is not fit to load THAT late. I do not believe the way it is showed in the attachment is "as intended".

Reproduction steps

  1. Probably have a slower phone
  2. Enter any channel with messages (if the channel has the slowdown turned on, it will be more evident probably)

Status changed from Needs triage to Can't reproduce
This is due to your device theme (system UI) being in light mode.

Video notes device is also loading other elements, so NAB – WAI.

Nobody else has been able to reproduce these, and we have no device running Android 8 / EMUI 8 to test on.

Can't reproduce CNR: ffprobe returns this video as being h264 w/ 1080x2340 res and 42.49fps. might have something to do with the resolution or weird fps, esp. if video playback relies on system functions.
