Feature description
Targeting these recent changes https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Messages/pull/58
Please introduce an option in settings menu for users to choose if the editor window (the bubble where you write your new message) is limited in it's size (actually 8) or if it's unlimited (like it was before recent changes). Probably enhanced with another option to set a custom limit of lines.
Further improvement could be done by widening the editor window, repositioning the digit counter, the sim icon and the attachment button.
Why do you want this feature?
The editor window is quite narrow, because the digit counter (enabled in the settings menu) is limiting it on the right together with the icon of the actually used sim card. On the left it is limited by the button to add an attachment. This actually results in a lot of scrolling, when you are writing messages with more than just a few words. So what what it needs is more height. Respectively more than 8 lines ;-)
Additional information
I agree with this requester and the comment in https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Messages/pull/58 which stated this should be a preference.
