ISSUE 3 (Android/IOS) Input field containing multiline message scales down when closing keyboard

Steps:

1. Type some multiline message in the input field
2. Close the keyboard
3. Observe the behaviour of the input field

Actual result: Input field scales down, the message becomes invisible (only first 2 lines are partially visible). Overall, manual expanding/collapsing of the input field does not work smoothly which is resulting in poor user experience.

The chat sheet should expand as the user types new lines. It no longer does that as of today.

This one has been logged by @VladimrLitvinenko I guess, it should be logged separately if still reproducible in latest nightly. @VladimrLitvinenko
