Comment (by misch):

 I agree with the original poster.  The inline typing notification is
 annoying.  If I'm trying to catch up on a conversation with a person, the
 "X is typing" notification moves the text I am reading.

 Text on the screen should not move unless a new message is entered from
 the local user or the remote message contact.

 Please bring back the old icon-based style, or make it text, but put it
 outside the in-line message box.

 I cannot think of another messaging client that does it this way.
