 > The position of the old notification looks totally random and makes no
 sense, having it at the end of the conversation, where your focus usually
 is when actively in the conversation, is better usability.

 The old notification makes sense to me. If you assume that both you and
 your contact are just chatting (and doing nothing else), then ok, I agree
 with you. But generally I am doing some other things, and if the other
 person takes a bit longer to reply, I am no longer focused in the chat
 window, I just glance it as Arvedui wrote. And in those contitions the
 corner of the window is much more noticeable.

 Beside that I get a bit confused when i'm writing and the other person
 starts typing for a fraction of a second I wonder if that's a reply and I
 think - "oh no, it's just the notification" a sec later it is a reply in
 the exact same place. It awful, imo.
