I can't see what I'm typing in my message field because a gray bubble with 0:00 in it is blocking my view in messages. Turning off Character count in settings made it disappear. We need an update fix. Started happening in IOS 9.
iPhone 4S, iOS 9.0.2
Extremely annoying, isn't it? I have encountered this several times too with iOS 9.0.2 on the iPhone 6, and checking my Settings->Messages I noted that the "Character Count" is already disabled. Thus far (knock on wood) to clear this bug I have terminated the Messages app by double-clicking the home button and then swiping the Messages app upward. Upon re-launching the Messages app, the offending gray bar would be gone. Hopefully this mitigation tactic will continue to work until Apple provides a fix.
