It's not really a 'bug' but more of a user experience issue.

When I click emotes in the emote selection drawer, the chat box fills with the text representation, and eventually the chat box auto-lengthens to accommodate increasing amounts of text. The emote I was clicking on has now moved enough pixels away such that if I do not move my cursor to adapt, I click on an unintentional emote. It is annoying to then have to delete a long string due to one single click.

Can we please change the behaviour so the chat box is perhaps static and set to a larger height, and the content scrolls always to the bottom?

I wonder how difficult it would be to render the emotes directly in the box as well. If it's text -> img via JS, why not populate the chat box with the actual icons. This would save space too.

In general I find the bits, channel identity, and other drawer/popups over the chat to be really intrusive. I cannot see what's going on in chat while selecting emotes. Maybe the popup could pop out to the left?
