React-native-gifted-chat: Inverted = false causes message list to scroll-to-top on send

[willdady]

Issue Description

Message list scrolls-to-top when submitting a new message when inverted={false}

Steps to Reproduce / Code Snippets

Set inverted={false}

Expected Results

The README says...

inverted (Bool) - Reverses display order of messages; default is true

... the message order is reversed as expected however it also causes the message list to scroll-to-top when a new message is entered which seems like the wrong behavior

• React Native version: 0.54.4

Same issue here! Anyone found a solution?

[willdady]

Workaround I've used is to not set inverted and to reverse the order of the messages array before passing it to the messages prop.
