These patches change two things that could cause the entire chat message list to rerender every time a new message was received.
The chat delete button handlers for moderators are now not recreated each time the list rerenders, so no longer cause all chat messages to rerender too.
I removed the striped chat message display (maybe will add it back with a CSS-only solution later) because it caused all chat messages to switch their
alternateclassname when 1) a message is deleted or 2) a new message comes in whilst there are already 512 messages in scrollback. Now it looks like:Which honestly is not that bad 🤔 but I'll see if the stripes can work well using just CSS.
