Long text break message and have extra margins

[Ganzolo]

Hi,

When I try to input very long messages I get an extra margin at the top and the bottom of each bubbles.

After investigating I realised that if I change in MessagesCollectionViewFlowLayout.Swift (line 64) :

messageLabelFont = UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: .body)

by

messageLabelFont = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 17) // This is the font used anyway in my UILabel

It works. Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Is this a valid issue? If so, @Ganzolo, care to do a PR, or would you like me to do that?

@Ganzolo Are you changing the font for the MessageLabel? It should use the same font provided in the MessagesCollectionViewFlowLayout.

@AndrewLauder I haven't looked into this so I don't know if it's a bug or not. Looks like something is off though. I hope to review it in a bit.

I did not and I used the same font as the default one in UILabel. It's a very strange issue but it might be related to AutoLayout + preferredFont method.

Here is a person also having trouble with this :

@AndrewLauder
My quick fix of hard coding default font size is not good. If you confirm the issue, we need to get rid of preferredFont method. I'll let u do PR then.

Best regards

@Ganzolo Do you know which release of the project you're using? I think I've resolved this in v0.5.0.
