Sadly, that spacing now needs to be bigger because scrollIntoView
doesn't honor margins which overlap each other to eliminate this kind of
'too much spacing' kind of problem.

Note that we're removing position: relative for the contact class, and
there might be some unexpected layout impacts. Thus far I haven't seen
any.
FREEBIE
- Last seen indicator now spans the full conversation, with subtle
shadow highlights above and below
- Scrollbars now overlap the content of the conversation, allowing last
seen indicator to touch the right edge of the window.
- The iOS and Android conversation background is now #eee instead of
white, which meant that the outgoing messages (Android) and incoming
messages (iOS) had to be updated for contrast. They now have white
backgrounds.
- Similarly, the scroll down button needed more contrast, and its
background is now white in light themes.

This is to ensure that when there are a lot of unread messages, the user
is given the chance to see all of them by being scrolled to the oldest
new message.
When a new message comes in, the indicator will be incremented.
When the user sends a message or switches away from the conversation,
the last seen indicator will be removed.

Add names and sizes for all attachments except images, and (as with
arbitrary attachments), clicking on the text will open a save dialog.
In the absence of a filename, choose something that makes sense.

Make arbitrary files look nicer and display the filename.
If an audio or video element fails to load for any reason, timeout after

This makes the "x" in the search bar always visible when there is
text in the search box, even if the mouse is not hovering, hopefully
making for a clearer UI around search and resolving issue #741
The implementation adds the "x.svg" as a background image to the search
box when it is classed with .active, in addition to the
-webkit-search-cancel-button, which is still there for the actual
functionality but only appears on mouse hover (one tiny snag is that
coloring appears slightly different on hover, at least on my screen -
don't know if this is a problem).
I accounted for both ltr and rtl text-direction by using
getComputedStyle(...).direction to detect from the input's dir="auto"
- if there's a more elegant way to do this, please suggest. An ideal
solution would use the :dir pseudo-class but it's not implemented
in Chrome yet - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/:dir
For now, I added the direction-checking to inbox_view.js. I see that
input.search is also used in new_group_update_view.js and
recipient_input_view.js but neither of these views seem to be in use (?)
and they don't set the .active class anyway, so I ignored them.
Update: Amended version a few hours later - fixed and manually tested
color and spacing for iOS and Android Dark themes. Also made some new
SASS variables to make things DRYer and fixed my tab size.
Handles the edge case where images in the Install steps can obscure the text below them at certain window dimensions.
In most cases, it's not possible to replicate this behavior due to minimum dimension settings in `chromium.js`. However, some window managers (such as i3) can ignore those settings, producing this bug.
This fix introduces a flexible, responsive layout to the Install steps, with the goal of keeping the action buttons in a consistent position while adapting the rest of the content to the remaining available space. The result is a clean, usable screen at any window size.
In the rare instance that a window's dimensions are less than that of the minimums set in `chromium.js`, scrollbars will appear to keep the smallest acceptable layout intact.
Potential side effects:
- Each `.step` element contains an`.inner` flexbox wrapper, which arranges its children in a column. The layout works best when each `flex-item` is an element that wraps the content inside of it. I think I accounted for all the possibilities on the Install screen, but any future `.step` items might want to keep that pattern in mind.

Adding the class `.text-security` to the body element will (should) turn
all names, phone numbers, and message bodies into unreadable squares.
Nice to have when you want to screenshot without leaking too much info.
Note that emojis and images are not obscured.
This isn't fully baked or exposed as a feature. You have manually
inspect and tweak the DOM to enable it, but I leave it here for the
benefit of devs and other "frequent flyers" of our issue tracker.

* Fixes hourglasses
* Fix delivered status icon
* Other changes aiming for more consistency of visual structure
between light and dark themes.
* Restores left pane header focus/transition effect.
This breaks the css-purity of our mixin but is necessary in order to
apply the initial offset of the hourglass animation dynamically, since
jquery can't manipulate arbitrary css on psuedo elements.
When initialized, or when expiration-related attributes change, expiring
messages will set timers to self-destruct. On self-destruct they trigger
'expired' events so that frontend listeners can clean up any collections
and views referencing them.
At startup, load all messages pending expiration so they can start their
timers even if they haven't been loaded in the frontend yet.
Todo: Remove expired conversation snippets from the left pane.
Previously we only declared the message body as selectable, but Chrome's
implementation of user-select is a little quirky in that it allows
unselectable text to be copied if you select elements around it. Oddly
enough, styling the entire bubble contents as selectable, including the
timestamp, actually prevents chrome from copying the timestamp text when
it's not supposed to, i.e., when triple-clicking the message body.

Add a section under settings for performing a contact sync from your
mobile device. This just re-runs the same import operation that occurs
at install/link time.
// FREEBIE
The bar is effectively invisible, but having it present means that we
don't see a jarring change in width when the content expands into the
overflow zone and triggers the scrollbar to suddenly appear.

For messages that failed to send due to network errors, this change
allows retrying them directly from the main conversation view rather
than only from the message detail view.

This flow broke a bit with transition to modal debug log.
Restructure such that the loading class can be applied to an appropriate

The button for the conversation menu was rendering on top of the global
menu since the global menu was part of a position-fixed element and thus

Untangle these two views into their component parts, consolidating all
the key conflict logic in the key conflict view. Contact view now simply

Chrome's UA stylesheet defaults font-family to monospace on textareas.
The only other textarea at the moment is the debug log, where monospace

Remove the 1px gray border around the window. This allows to the window to integrate seamlessly with custom window managers which use the background color for the titlebar.
While typing a number, the new contact element is faded out. When the
number becomes valid it is opaque. If the element is clicked while
invalid, it displays 'Invalid number' and waits for the input to change
again. A new conversation is only opened if the number is valid.
// FREEBIE
The file input area has a transparent border. When a file is dragged
above that area, the border turns blue. This helps the user understand
that this is the correct drop-off area.
Messages with images or media were causing the scroll position to jump
around when they loaded, because rendering them changed the height of their
elements from 0 to full-height sometime after they were inserted into
the DOM.
Now when rendering attachments, we wait for them to load so they can
render at full height immediately, then warn our parent message list
before and after a potential height change, so the scroll position can
be saved and reset.
// FREEBIE
Only load the most recent messages when initially rendering a
conversation. Scrolling to the top of a message list loads older
messages.
This required some slight refactoring of how we insert message elements
into the dom. If the message is added to the end of the collection,
append it at the end. Otherwise, assume it is an older message and
prepend it.
When adding elements to the top, reset the scrollPosition to its
previous distance from scrollHeight. This keeps the current set of
elements fixed in the viewport.
// FREEBIE
Bubbles are limited to 30em to facilitate comfortable reading length.
The width of the message list is limited to aid visual threading
of the conversation. The overall layout is restricted to 1300px and
centered if the window is much wider.
The header avatar resizes responsively to save room when the window
gets narrow

Lighten last-message color for both read/unread states.
Keep bold font weight on last-message for unread state.
Bring timestamp inward a bit
// FREEBIE
Styled the conversation list items so that:
- Timestamp is on the same line as the name
- The message text on an unread conversation is ligher than the rest of
the text
Resolves: #379
Using the search field produces a filtered view of all contacts and
groups containing the input. To make this fast and scalable, add an
index on a 'tokens' array containing words from the conversation name
and different forms of phone number.

Change how message errors are rendered. Errors associated with a number
will be shown under that number in the detail view rather than piling up
in the message bubble.
// FREEBIE
This will change the text color of outgoing links from blue
to gray to increase the contrast to the background color of the
outgoing message bubble. Also, the text selection color of these
links will be the same as for normal text.
This will change the text color and the background color of selected
text in outgoing messages to make the selection more noticeable.
::selection and ::-moz-selection have to be seperated into two
selectors because browsers will ignore selectors with partially
unknown syntax.
Makes the groupupdate and recipient input fields stick to the top,

Implement the equivalent of java's String.hashCode on the conversation model.
Change avatar template and attributes. Use css classes for colors.
On the conversations list, if the last message is too long, cut it with ellipsis (...) instead of going out of the screen.
On the single conversation view, if the message in the bubble contains a word that is longer than a bubble, break it anyway instead of going out of the screen.
As a chrome packaged app, we have to keep at least one window open in
order to maintain our websocket connection in the background page.
This change replaces the system window frame with custom buttons in the
inbox header, such that the 'close' button merely hides the window
rather than unloading it.

This reverts commit 31e7d285e3.
This seemed like a nice feature, but the popup bubble isn't very
conducive to nontrivial user inputs, e.g. file inputs.
Fixes#211
Clicking on a key conflict message opens the message detail view,
which displays the contact(s) in this conversation. If the message
contains a key conflict with any of these contacts, a button is
displayed which attempts to resolve that conflict and any other
conflicts in the conversation that are related to that contact.
Rather than opening the inbox in its own window, let it appear as a
browser action popup by default, but allow promotion to its own window
if requested.
Update unreadCounts per-conversation on incoming messages. Render unread
conversations with font-weigh: bold in the inbox view.
To ensure that the inbox and conversation views remain in sync, the
background page now ensures that the same models objects are used for
both views.
Closes#173
Previously, in the event of a failed websocket auth, we would attempt to
reconnect once a second ad infinitum. This changeset ensures that we
only reconnect automatically if the socket closed 'normally' as
indicated by the code on the socket's CloseEvent. Otherwise, show a
'Websocket closed' error on the inbox view.
Ideally we would show a more contextual error (ie, 'Unauthorized'), but
unfortunately the actual server response code is not available to our
code. It can be observed in the console output from the background page,
but programmatically, we only receive the WebSocket CloseEvent codes
listed here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/CloseEvent#Status_codes
The websocket error message is displayed by a normally-hidden but ever
present socket status element. Clicking this element will immediately
refresh the background page, which will try again to open the websocket
connection.
When first intalling, users will no longer be presented with the option
to register as a standalone client.
For developer convenience, the standalone form can still be found at

With these changes, message bubbles in the default-sized chat popup are
just wide enough to display the full complement of html5 media player
controls.
Add contentType-specific limits, switch to lazy-init iff we encounter an
oversized file, and restyle as a toast, factoring out a generic
ToastView along the way.
Simplifies the grunt watch task for sass. Renames sass partials with
leading underscores. Flattens stylesheet directory. The only remaining
raw css file is options.css.
Move globally-relevant styles to _global. Shrink overall font size.
Previously, the ugly file input was hidden with opacity, and styled as a
square paperclip icon, but its drop and click zones were not constrained
to the visible square. They remained active across the whole 'Choose
File' button, which overlapped with the textarea. Instead, hide the file
input complete (display: none) and transmit click events from the
paperclip to the input programmatically.
Eventually, we'll need to address drag and drop events, but I want to do
that at the window level. Otherwise dropping a file outside the file
input drop zone causes the browser to navigate to the file://... url.
Render the entire conversation from a template, because some parts of it
must be rendered conditionally if it is a group vs private conversation.
Also apply some style fixes and restore lost functionality:
* Make conversation title bar fixed.
* Widens message bubbles.
* Unhide message list.
* Restore attachment rendering.
* Restore message sending and attachment file selection.
* Style attachments file input as a paperclip.
* Style send button like on Android and make it a submit input.
This was used to conditionally render messages in the group style, but
it's actually unnecessary. We can render the same markup in both cases
and change the appearance with css.
Move base64 encoding of attachments to an AttachmentView. This makes
image rendering an asynchronous task so we fire an update event to
indicate to the parent MessageListView that its content has changed
height and it is time to scroll down.
This dependency may be a little heavy for our current use case, but we can
roll with it for now and find something slimmer if it turns out yagni.
