Help message strings on legend

this is my second android device, i had the hero and now i have the legend, and i am having a small problem with it,
every time i open a string of messages i have to scroll down to the bottom to view a the massage i have just recieved which considering that i have some strings containing over 1000 messages this can be quite annoying.
i though it must be software as it bagan just before the first over the air update for 2.2...

but the problem still exists, i lost my temper with it and ran a master reset and the it is still there.
can someone help me???
how do i fix it, and it could be a very amateur fix i know but im lost for ideas

Have you tried Handcent SMS? It's excellent and (I believe - I'm not touching this update) unaffected by the reverse message bug.

(P.S. - I just posted this exact same text in another thread - I don't work for Handcent SMS - just trying to help!)

Handcent worked for me too; I prefer the default message interface and took a while to get used to Handcent's style, but am happy enough with it - and certainly happier than I was with the default one since the update. I would recommend it - but make sure you change your notification settings for the default one or you will be told that you have a message twice! As far as I am aware, the default one also receives the messages, so you won't have lost any or they won't just to stored to Handcent if another update rectifies the problem.
