Teams is not retaining position when swapping between chats
jmccabekt Not sure what you're asking - the chats with the most recent activity will always move to the top of the list. If you are in a couple of chats at once, one way to keep track of them more easily is to pin them to the top so they're not lost in the list. You can also hide old chats that aren't relevant any more to keep the list shorter. https://www.learningwithkari.com/blog/organizechatsinteams
Anyone else have anything to add?
Ok - consider this:
Teams is open on my PC; I have a toolbar on the left, then list of chats, then the selected chat (let's call that the "chat pane" as I don't know what you'd call it).
I click on the top chat in the list and it's shown in the chat pane. I go to the chat pane and type text into the box that says "Type a new message" and press the weird arrow icon to send it.
Now I click in the 2nd chat in the chat list so the chat with that person is shown in the chat pane. However the chat pane momentarily shows the last messaged sent/received in that chat, then jumps so that the message now displayed is one from an earlier time and I have to scroll the chat pane down to get the latest message.
The problem isn't related to the ordering of the list of different chats I'm involved in, it's the content of that specific chat that I've chosen.
Do you understand that now?
jmccabekt I think it will be good to clear the Microsoft Teams client cache on laptop, and then try it again 😀
Reference how to clear the cache:

Let me know the outcome 😀kind regards,

Mitchell Bakker Intriguing:
The "all files and folders in the %appdata%\Microsoft\Teams directory" step seems a bit dodgy! I've deleted all the files in the Cache directory under there, and will let you know if that works.
Nope; didn't. Problem re-appeared shortly afterwards.
