> After several replies in a message, you cannot see the most current message you are replying to while you type in the message box. You have to keep scrolling back up to see the most recent message.
> I was able to replicate this with just a couple of responses back and forth (i.e. two messages from User A and two response from User B).
> In a typical email client it would either quote the message, or you could view the message you were replying to in a different window. 
> It looks like Facebook handles this by reversing the order of the messages in a thread, so the newest message is at the bottom. That adds some annoyance since it require scrolling to read the most recent message, but it makes it much easier to reply.
> Steps to reproduce:
> 1) Send a message from User A to User B with 5-10 lines of text
> 2) User B replies to User A with 5-10 lines of text
> 3) User A replies to User B with 5-10 lines of text
> 4)  User B replies to User A with 5-10 lines of text
> 5) User A views message and plans to reply. They have to scroll up and down to see the latest message from User B while replying. (Laptop resolution of 1440x900)
