Description
At the moment the notification if someone is writing a message is displayed on the top of the chat window, toggling the status-image of the account to a writing-icon.
A more intuitive way to display this information would be right there where the next message is about to appear: below the last message. Skype does it this way and I think they do it right. From a usability point of view it is better to display it below the text, because your focus, your attention is there. You read the last message, write a new one or wait for a reply: your eyes and thus your attention does not leave the bottom part of the window.
With the current notification you have to move your focus and attention away of the last message or the message you write to the upper part of the window, in order to check whether the one on the other side is writing or not.
