Dynamic UITextView mislocation behavior

Question

I am trying to have a textview similar to iPhone messages, where the textview initially has a constraint (height <= 100) and the scrollEnabled = false

This is a link to the project: https://github.com/akawther/TextView

The text view increases in height based on the content size as in the image on the left until it reaches the height of 100, then the scrollEnabled is set to true. It works perfectly until I click the "send" button on the lower right where the textView should become empty and go back to the original height and scrollEnabled becomes false. The middle image shows what happens when I click the button. When I start typing the textview moves down as you see in the last image on the right. I want to be able to click the button and eliminate the behavior shown on the middle image, how can I fix this?

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController, UITextViewDelegate {

@IBOutlet weak var bottomConstraint: NSLayoutConstraint!
@IBOutlet weak var messageTextView: UITextView!
@IBOutlet weak var parent: UIView!
let messageTextViewMaxHeight: CGFloat = 100


override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    self.messageTextView.delegate = self
}

@IBAction func Reset(sender: AnyObject) {
    messageTextView.text = ""
    messageTextView.frame.size.height = messageTextView.contentSize.height
    messageTextView.scrollEnabled = false
    self.parent.layoutIfNeeded()
}

func textViewDidChange(textView: UITextView) {
    if textView.frame.size.height >= self.messageTextViewMaxHeight {

        textView.scrollEnabled = true

    } else {
        textView.scrollEnabled = false
        textView.frame.size.height = textView.contentSize.height
    }
}

}

You can replicate my issue by following these steps in the github project: 1. keep typing words and pressing enters until you start seeing the scroll 2. Click the button you will see that the textview goes up in the blue container. This is the issue I want to eliminate!

Try bellow code :-

@IBAction func Reset(sender: AnyObject) {
        messageTextView.scrollEnabled = false
        messageTextView.text = ""
        messageTextView.frame.size.height = messageTextView.contentSize.height
        parent.frame.size.height = 20

    self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
}

func textViewDidChange(textView: UITextView) {
    if textView.contentSize.height >= self.messageTextViewMaxHeight {

        textView.scrollEnabled = true

    } else {

        textView.frame.size.height = textView.contentSize.height
        textView.scrollEnabled = false
    }
}
