The scrolling steps on the input field are too large by about one line height
Using a supported version?

Overall summary
When expanding the input field and scrolling the text jumps up or down so far that not a single line from the previous position stays in view. This makes it uncertain if you accidentally scrolled to far and creates the need to scroll manually with the cursor to double check your position. It's common practice to jump less than 100% so at least one line of a previous position stays in view.
Steps to reproduce
expand input field, fill with large amount of text and scroll
Expected result
keep one line of previous positon in view of new position
Actual result
scrolling is about 100% not leaving any previously seen text in view

@Meteor0id thanks for the report. Can you provide a bit more information about how you are scrolling so I can reproduce the issue? E.g. via keyboard, trackpad, mouse?
Mousewheel. I can imagine the driver or OS determine the step size by default but maybe it's Signal defining this. If possible Signal should attempt to force step size to either 1 line or the number of lines that fit on the current input -1
