Problems that affect many users
What problem or use case are you trying to solve?
There is no indication that a response is being generated in the chat UI. The only indication is the agent status at the footer.
Describe the UX of the solution you'd like
Something like an animated 3 dots in the style of the existing chat bubble.
Do you have thoughts on the technical implementation?
Display 3 dots in the existing message component when agent is generating a response.
Describe alternatives you've considered
A banner embedded in the chat ui itself, not as a chat message.
Additional context
There are downsides to artificial streaming, and removing it can improve other small aspects (more about this discussion in #1488)
#1761 introduced an auto-scroll feature that can only be easily achieved by removing the effect (it is difficult to make it scroll as the height of the message changes).
I saw it as a good opportunity to take the step to move after confirmation from @neubig (in #1761) and @yimothysu (in #1488)
