mockup comparison

In bug 710409, status messages were moved to the right. Now that we have filtering and compression of these messages, I think it would be a good time to move them back to the left.

Status messages on the right creates large gaps which makes it harder to read the conversation. It also means that you have to scan between the right and left sides if you are interested in the status messages (which is more likely with filtering/compression).

chatView: Status messages moved to the left

The status messages were moved to the right. However that wasn't a good
place for them from the UX point of view. Now everything feels more in
place.

Fix this by removing 'left_margin' and 'justification' from the
'status' tag.
Comment 2 Albert 2016-10-13 17:48:49 UTC
I forgot to mention that, IMO it looks much more solid if it's left aligned with all the messages. 
If this isn't a common feeling I will change it according the mockup.

I don't mind changing the alignment, but the result looks wrong to me without more spacing between the last regular message and the first status message - just compare the attached screenshot with Allan's mockup to see the difference.

Marking patch as needs-work according to the last comment.

I wanted to work on this issue as a newcomer but noticed the patch already uploaded. The spacing problem you mentioned in the past seems to have naturally resolved in the new version.
