This PR improves auto-scrolling, so we check if the user is close to the bottom of the content before scrolling them down. It prevents problems where users can lose the position of where they are reading.

Drastically improves the mobile experience as well where the screen no longer jumps around all the time when typing or reading.

Why 50?

If it's exactly the scrollHeight then it's hard for user to scroll to the bottom fast enough and re-enable auto-scroll. The 50 pixels (about two lines of text) seem to work well enough on both desktop and mobile.
