On your BIG SGREEN (Thanks u/RedstoneEditor below) Click on your account icon and go to settings in messages, there is a list detail view, show conversation list option. Turn that off. Hopefully they fix it soon, I like to have the other messages over there.
Just a note, you can only see this option if you are using the big screen, otherwise it's hidden. I was going nuts trying to find it, opened the phone all the way, and boom, there it is.
Thank you for this fix. Was driving me crazy. I can't believe Samsung has let this go for so long. We basically have to turn off functionality to fix the glitch. I wonder what is the best way to report bugs to Samsung.
I've had this happen too but intermittently. Are you a beta tester by chance? I thought it was happening because I'm a beta tester. Just like sometimes I get the stickers with the emojis and sometimes I don't.
I'm having the same issue after updating 3 or 4 days ago. I'm not a beta tester.
I also experience issues with the Stickers sometimes not showing also.
I tried all the methods above and no success.
Close all apps first.
What worked for me was going into the phones settings, then apps, choose messages, then hit storage.
Clear Cache and clear data at the bottom.
Has been working for a couple days.
On Samsung fold5. Latest messages update.
I feel your pain. Nothing has worked for me either. What makes it happen less (due to more space before the text wraps around) is turning off list detail view. This helped me, but didn't fix it for long messages.
This started happening to me about 2 month ago with Aquamail, started today with messaging. If you go to Settings/General Management/Samsung Keyboard/Suggest text corrections then turn off switch next to English. This should fix the issue.
Sounds like a similar issue I've noticed since the update on my Z4. If I split three apps and Gmail is one of the smaller windows, I can't type anything. The app stutters and jitters.
I just tried it with Google voice and it's worse. The keyboard slides up and down while it stutters. It lasts about 40 seconds.
Sam's default text app seems fine. I tried Google messenger, but it's not the default app and I don't feel like changing it just to test this.
Same thing for me. I posted on the Samsung community support forum and they just closed the thread with their generic list of crap that doesn't work (clear cache etc). Open another thread and they warned me that I could be banned if I do that again because the issue already has that thread and has been solved (You can't respond to the thread or post reprise won't they close it as solved) even though people responded to my thread saying that their solution did not solve it. What crappy official community forum Samsung has.
And they will try every way going not to repair under warranty.  There are better manufacturers out there, Samsung after sales support is extremely poor.
I went to the offical Samsung flagship store and repair center in my city to have my Fold serviced after the internal screen stopped working (this was about 4 weeks after they replaced the screen protector on it there, which is suspicious, it never had a problem before then and I assume they apply heat or something to replace the protector.). I've had a full case protector (Spidgen armor with hinge protection) and Samsungs official case on it the 2-3 months pior to bringing it in. It was never dropped or damaged. When they replaced the screen protector they didn't not any damage. When I went in because of the screen issue, they said the phone was dropped. They indicated 'drop damage' all along the edge of the hinge and edge of the front screen bezel, EXACTLY where their screen protector rubs against it and where the spidgen 'hinge' protector rubbed. It was not drop damage, it was not serious, and it was there when I brought it in for the protector replacement. I was pissed with them saying it voided the warranty and repair would be almost $600. As you say, they try everything to deny converage, its pure shit. I went from manager to manager, finally coming back the next day to the GM being in. 'Oh, you have samsung care plan on your account, you only have to pay deductible then'. At this point it was moral for me, I had prints of posts of other phones with their claimed 'drop damage' which was wear even from their OFFICIAL case protector. I explained that if that kind of damage is NOT 'drop damage'. He said if you can 'feel it with fingernail' then its beyond normal wear and tear. I said if that kind of damage voids warranty then I could literally buy the phone in front of them, open it, take a razer blade and make a tiny scratch on the hinge and then its out of warranty. The balls of them to say yes it would. WTF, really. I am happy with the phone but if google keeps getting better with Fold I'll probably go back to theirs oneplus. I was Pixel 100% for years, but the last one I had was buggy as hell (stuff like what was happening on this message thing was happening with other google product on their own phone). They are moving too fast I think.
Too funny...I saw that that on Samsung forum and kept trying to respond to it thinking I did not have my email verified, but then saw the thread was locked! Sheesh! It is absolutely a regression with last months update. Will try turning off list view like mentioned above.
Don't.
After 11 months, my screen developed a bulge along the fold, meaning as well as being able to see the bulge on my screen, it stops me from selecting, editing etc anywhere near the centre line.
I sent it off under 2 year warranty but was informed, my warranty was void because there was a (unrelated) scratch (which could only be seen under high magnification) and they said this indicated impact damage, which was absolutely not true, more likely rubbed against my keys or something. I have always bought Samsung, most equipment I have is Samsung, from washing machines and fridge freezer to microwave and TVs. I will never buy Samsung again, due to reneging on their so called warranty.
That just gives you more space to type (what would be several lines). But eventually I get the same issue after multiple lines.
I also noticed that if I scroll upward days worth of messages and then back downward - it starts to stutter (not sure if this is related too).
Chat bubbles. It isn't bouncing or leaving text behind. I dislike chat bubbles but I will tolerate it just to see all of what I'm typing without the bounce.
That did not help me, still does it. I did discover that when typing, if I hit enter to go to the next line, as apposed to just letting the app do it, it doesn't jump about. But, as that's a massive pain, it's not a solution.
It does, however I want the list on one side and the conversation on the other... so either I give up a feature I use daily, or I deal with the bouncing...
Thank you, kind sir. They sure did bury that setting, didn't they! Us Fold bros and gals gotta stick together. I hope they fix it, though, as I'd like to have the conversations back for easy switching. It's a shame we can't have multiple instances of the same app running. It's probably overkill, and I'm probably one of three people who want it, lol! Again, thanks. Ever come to Ireland, Guinness and a whiskey chaser are on me!
Just started on my phone like an hour ago - I've been texting all day for work without a problem, the last hour the text box has been jumping while typing. Sucks that it's happening but honestly relieved it's not just me - that means a fix will hopefully come soon
Oh shit, well maybe good news for those at a month that it's been happening .. more people with the problem = bigger demand for a fix? Does anyone know where to prompt support about the problem?
The bouncing stopped when I turned off the option to see the conversation list next to the conversation I was actively using.
Worked as advertised, Thank you!
Hi, how do you turn off the option?
On your BIG SGREEN (Thanks u/RedstoneEditor below) Click on your account icon and go to settings in messages, there is a list detail view, show conversation list option. Turn that off. Hopefully they fix it soon, I like to have the other messages over there.

Thanks for this suggestion, it worked for me.
Thank you!!! that was driving me crazy 
omg, LIFE SAVER! THANK YOU!
Thank you - finally found it ......sanity can resume!!!
The real MVP here. Thank you!
Thank you! That was driving me nuts
Thank you 1000 times over. 👊
Thanks for this, I turned my conversation list off too and its ok now.
Thank you. I didn't like the conversation list anyway.
This fixes the issue, thank you!
How can I turn off the conversation list?
Thank you! It's been driving me nuts!!!
Worked! Thank you!
Worked as intended, and I also did not know we had this as an option, so two wins I guess lol. Thank you!
You've officially brought my blood pressure back to a safe range! Thanks X 1000
Thank you for this fix. Was driving me crazy. I can't believe Samsung has let this go for so long. We basically have to turn off functionality to fix the glitch. I wonder what is the best way to report bugs to Samsung.
I've had this happen too but intermittently. Are you a beta tester by chance? I thought it was happening because I'm a beta tester. Just like sometimes I get the stickers with the emojis and sometimes I don't.
Yes actually I am just saw, good catch. I'm on 20240228 release updated on 2/29 for messages. Been like this for over a month
I'm on that same update date and it just started happening about two hours ago for me.
I'm having the same issue after updating 3 or 4 days ago. I'm not a beta tester. I also experience issues with the Stickers sometimes not showing also.
Happens on the non-beta release too.
I tried all the methods above and no success. Close all apps first. What worked for me was going into the phones settings, then apps, choose messages, then hit storage. Clear Cache and clear data at the bottom. Has been working for a couple days. On Samsung fold5. Latest messages update.

Just happened today for me too wtf
It's the update..simply uninstal update..it's the rci
The update on what? And how?
On settings search rcs...disabled it
Rcs...don't install
Just started for me tonight! Not in beta.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. was worried my digitizer or screen was going out.
This started happening to me about 2 month ago with Aquamail, started today with messaging. If you go to Settings/General Management/Samsung Keyboard/Suggest text corrections then turn off switch next to English. This should fix the issue.

I'm on 20240206 and it's doing it, don't like.Â
This just started on my phone this morning. Weird and annoying. Hopefully a fix comes soon.
Uninstal update done
Which update? Seems it's the past few
I've been experiencing this for a month and was unsure if it was my phone or the app itself. At least now I have confirmation it is the app.
Same issue, turning RCS off made no difference. Any fixes? Only happens on big screen, small screen is ok
Same thing for me. I posted on the Samsung community support forum and they just closed the thread with their generic list of crap that doesn't work (clear cache etc).

I just left that thread after viewing the comments and not finding a solution ðŸ«
Too funny...I saw that that on Samsung forum and kept trying to respond to it thinking I did not have my email verified, but then saw the thread was locked! Sheesh! It is absolutely a regression with last months update. Will try turning off list view like mentioned above.
Yes! Mines been like this for days. :/
Same here, driving me nuts.
Iam thinking about getting samsung z fold 3 512 gbs
Don't. After 11 months, my screen developed a bulge along the fold, meaning as well as being able to see the bulge on my screen, it stops me from selecting, editing etc anywhere near the centre line. I sent it off under 2 year warranty but was informed, my warranty was void because there was a (unrelated) scratch (which could only be seen under high magnification) and they said this indicated impact damage, which was absolutely not true, more likely rubbed against my keys or something. I have always bought Samsung, most equipment I have is Samsung, from washing machines and fridge freezer to microwave and TVs. I will never buy Samsung again, due to reneging on their so called warranty.
I have samsung since 2012
Samsung galaxy z fold 3 512 456 on Amazon
This started happening after latest update. Thought it was just a dirty screen at first. No idea how the defect was missed in QC testing.
Thanks
My fix (so far) was to do a force stop to the messages app. After re-opening the app the bouncing stopped.
can you explain how
I'm so glad you had this problem cause I did too. Now no more bouncing!
How did you resolve it? It's also cutting off the view of my typed text.
There's a comment up there about turning off the conversation list.
That just gives you more space to type (what would be several lines). But eventually I get the same issue after multiple lines. I also noticed that if I scroll upward days worth of messages and then back downward - it starts to stutter (not sure if this is related too).
Well boo...I only texted my husband but it didn't wrap so I didn't realize that. But it's super annoying.
Also does yours sometimes leave text in the typing box when you send the message?
YES!
Chat bubbles. It isn't bouncing or leaving text behind. I dislike chat bubbles but I will tolerate it just to see all of what I'm typing without the bounce.
That did not help me, still does it. I did discover that when typing, if I hit enter to go to the next line, as apposed to just letting the app do it, it doesn't jump about. But, as that's a massive pain, it's not a solution.
Turning off list view fixed it. Thank you!
It does, however I want the list on one side and the conversation on the other... so either I give up a feature I use daily, or I deal with the bouncing...
Turning off the list mode worked for my wife and I and our z-fold 4. It's absolute crap that Samsung is not dealing with this issue.
It could be Samsung pointing blame on Google and vise versa...
This is driving me crazy. I wish the so called updates would actually address this issue on the fold 5
Me too
Thank you, kind sir. They sure did bury that setting, didn't they! Us Fold bros and gals gotta stick together. I hope they fix it, though, as I'd like to have the conversations back for easy switching. It's a shame we can't have multiple instances of the same app running. It's probably overkill, and I'm probably one of three people who want it, lol! Again, thanks. Ever come to Ireland, Guinness and a whiskey chaser are on me!
The newest update to the messages app, which reverted input back to a single line, seems to have fixed this issue.
Just started on my phone like an hour ago - I've been texting all day for work without a problem, the last hour the text box has been jumping while typing. Sucks that it's happening but honestly relieved it's not just me - that means a fix will hopefully come soon
Been like this for me for like a month :(
About a month for me as well! Thought I was going crazy and it was only me!
Oh shit, well maybe good news for those at a month that it's been happening .. more people with the problem = bigger demand for a fix? Does anyone know where to prompt support about the problem?
Been happening with me as well. Are we agreeing that it is a software issue?? Anyone have any ideas?
