  1. hi,after installing the new 4.3 , when in a text message conversation, typing a reply, the previous messages showing above the text box start with the oldest message, and i have to scroll down to see the latest one. (i often need to refer to recent texts to get info to compose a reply)

    Also, the text size choices (using the volume control, or 'manual' settings miss the size i need to see the screen.. it skips from too small to HUGE. Where did the one in the middle go?
    i use swift key.
    thanks!
