fix(threads): reduce dead space around root message in thread drawer#344
Conversation
The root message section had two sources of excess whitespace:
1. hideTrack={false} forced a visible scrollbar gutter on the Scroll
component even when the message fit within the 200px max-height and no
scrolling was needed. Changed to hideTrack (default true = hidden) so
the gutter only appears when actually scrollable.
2. padding: S400 0 S200 0 (16px top / 8px bottom) on the root message box
was adding significant dead space above the message content that
compounds with the Message component's own internal padding.
Reduced to S200 0 S100 0 (8px top / 4px bottom).

Dead space in thread header is slightly reduced, though could be reduced further:

Problem
The root message section in the thread drawer had excessive padding (
S400top /S200bottom), leaving a large gap above short root messages and pushing replies further down the screen.Fix
Reduce the padding to
S200top /S100bottom so the root message sits closer to the header and the replies section. ThemaxHeight: 200pxconstraint andScrollwrapper are unchanged — long root messages still scroll correctly.
